The three opponents the Milwaukee Bucks faced this week, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, and Dallas Mavericks, have a combined record of 75-35 for a win percentage of 68.2%. They are all very good teams. If the Bucks would have gone out and lost all three of their games it would not have been surprising.
Instead they did a little better than that and went 1-2 for the week. Milwaukee was annihilated by San Antonio 123-98. They played a much better game against Chicago but at no point took control of the contest, losing 117-106.
In the final game of the week Milwaukee got a 96-95 victory over a good Dallas team in a battle that came down to the last seconds.
