Milwaukee Bucks Make It To the NBA Playoffs As Top Overall Seed

Several NBA teams made it to the playoffs this week, but none of them managed to create more buzz than the Milwaukee Bucks. They defeated the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night to secure their spot in the playoffs as the top overall seed. The Bucks came into their latest match without their star player Giannis Antetokounmpo and lost Khris Middleton to an injury early in the game, but that didn’t stop them from coming out victorious, defeating the Bulls 105-92. Luck wasn’t on Milwaukee’s side for the first half of the game, but everything changed during the third quarter. They managed to overcome a 10-point deficit in the third quarter before taking the lead and securing a win by impressive 12 points. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer praised the players for overcoming many obstacles to claim the top seed in the Eastern Conference. "To have the best record, it is something that matters and is important. But being our best day each night is what we talk about the most. Now we get to take a breath. I have no idea what we're going to do Friday and Sunday. The guys have earned it,” said Budenholzer. The Boston Celtics are the Eastern Conference's second-best team with two games remaining, while the Denver Nuggets have clinched the no. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
