There is something special brewing in Milwaukee and we would be amiss to not talk about it. Despite fielding their full-strength lineup in less than 10 games this season, they now hold an NBA-best 44-17 record.
Giannis has been at the action front and center. He faced a niggling wrist issue followed by knee soreness that put him out of the last game. But all is well in the Kingdom of the Greek Freak.
Tonight, he put up 33-15-4 and eclipsed Anthony Davis for the most 30-15 games of the NBA season. He also waxed lyrical about his love for the game.

The Bucks are building something special
It is no secret now that the Milwaukee team has to be among the most feared squads in the NBA. The Boston Celtics might edge them out in terms of depth and playstyle, however, the Bucks team has been champions before.
In the playoffs, it is the little things that will make a big difference. Moreover, seeding is crucial for an easier path to the NBA Finals. The 1st seed in the East means they will likely avoid Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers in the first or second round.
This a crucial factor, as the 76ers have been in scintillating form themselves. And while there may be doubts on who will actually sit atop the rankings in the East come playoff time, we think the Bucks are poised to hold on. But who knows, as for now, Milwaukee will be happy with their 15 wins in a row.
