It happened.
The Milwaukee Bucks are the best team in the National Basketball Association.
With three games left in the regular season, the Bucks (59-20) are not just the top team in the division, or the conference, but the entire league. They will enter the playoffs with the top seed in the East, and will maintain home court advantage against any and all opponents.
They have a top-flight offense. They have an elite defense. They have been built by a front office that has painstakingly retooled and rebranded after years of mediocrity, most notably upgrading the team’s coaching by swapping Jason Kidd and Joe Prunty for Mike Budenholzer (a Coach Of The Year candidate).
