Baby, it may be cold outside, but things are beginning to heat up for the Milwaukee Bucks.
After having one of the league’s toughest schedules to start the season, the Bucks have finally gotten some relief in recent games. Since their major 104-99 victory on the road against the Toronto Raptors on December 9, the Bucks have played just two teams that are either over .500 or in the playoffs in either conference.
Perhaps it’s no coincidence then that the Bucks have won six of their last seven games and sit just one-and-a-half back of Toronto for the Eastern Conference’s top spot.
