Even though the Bucks have little margin for error, their march toward a 70-win season continues to become more possible by the week. Milwaukee is now 52–8 through 60 games after Sunday’s win in Charlotte, a game in which Giannis Antetokounmpo erupted for 40 points and 21 rebounds.
Perhaps Milwaukee will get dethroned by Boston or Toronto in the Eastern Conference playoffs. A matchup with the Lakers or Clippers could send Antetokounmpo into the summer without a ring. We’ll save those concerns for a later date. For now, Antetokounmpo is rolling toward another MVP, and the Bucks are on pace for one of the greatest regular seasons in NBA history.
