The Milwaukee Bucks had a great opportunity to make up ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race this week. They played five games: at the New York Knicks, vs. the Chicago Bulls, at the Washington Wizards, vs. the Atlanta Hawks, and at the Charlotte Hornets.
The Bucks took care of business at home, winning both home contests, against the two toughest teams they faced this week, Chicago and Atlanta. They did exactly what you would expect them to do on the road, winning one of their three games. They beat Charlotte and lost to New York and Washington.
