Soaring high on confidence, the red-hot Milwaukee Bucks will make the short trip to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night with a chance to extend their winning streak to a season-best total of five games.
It won’t be easy, though. After an incredibly soft schedule since taking over as the team’s interim head coach, Joe Prunty will face easily his toughest test yet against Tom Thibodeau’s team, who are currently fourth in the West.
Perhaps making matters even more difficult, Eric Bledsoe, who was removed after just three minutes as a precaution in Milwaukee’s win over Philadelphia, is doubtful with an ankle injury, and the recently resurgent Jason Terry will miss the game due to personal reasons.
