Following their win over Indiana on Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks improved to a league-best 55-21.
The Bucks now sit three games ahead of second-placed Boston Celtics (52-24) in the Eastern Conference with six games remaining. As a result, the Bucks look poised to secure homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs. Milwaukee is also three and a half games ahead of leaders Denver Nuggets (51-24) in the Western Conference.
The Bucks have been able to gain separation in the standings with their recent surge over the last few months. Since Jan. 23, Milwaukee has gone a league-best 26-4, with the next-best team sitting at 20-10. Given their recent dominance, the Bucks should have a very good chance of winning their second title in three years after they fell short in Game 7 in the second round against Boston in last year’s playoffs.
As for Indiana (33-44, 12th in the East), the team has now lost four straight games as they continue to slip out of play-in reckoning. The Pacers are three and a half games behind tenth-placed Chicago Bulls (36-40) with five games remaining.
However, with their young core centered around star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, most would agree that Indiana still has a very bright future.
