Standing at 33-6 on the season, and the best team in the NBA by a considerable margin, the Milwaukee Bucks near the halfway mark this year as a fixture of consistency.
Of course, fashioning an 18-game winning streak helped the Bucks breeze by the competition as well as boost their incredible point differential (11.8) and their lapses have come fewer and far between than in any Bucks season, especially in recent memory.
With that said, their current road trip against Western Conference opponents has given the Bucks an extended stretch where they’ll have to resolve some issues that have led to their play falling well short of the lofty standards they’ve set for themselves, especially under head coach Mike Budenholzer.
