Behind four straight wins in Fiserv Forum, including a 123-109 victory versus the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers on the latest edition of NBA Sundays, the Milwaukee Bucks jumped to 24-17 in the 2024-25 Regular Season.
“We’ve played well. We won,” Giannis Antetokounmpo described the perfect four-game homestand, after putting up a 34-point, 16-rebound double-double and six assists over 36 minutes against the Sixers, “We showed up. We did the right things. We moved the ball. We guarded. We played well. I’m happy that we were able to do this at home, in front of our fans. But now we must try to do the same on the road.”
As is the case through several games over recent months, the international player with Greece and leader of the Bucks was initially listed as probable with right patella tendinopathy en route to being medically cleared to play on Sunday.
“I’m happy where we are right now. But we gotta keep on improving. Gotta keep on improving every single day. But, we’ve been playing well. But it’s not enough,” he confirmed intentions to help in further growth of the franchise based in Wisconsin, deeper in the season amid a battle for the best possible position in the Eastern Conference.
On the losing end, French Guerschon Yabusele missed a second straight game due to right knee swelling and Turkish Adem Bona got his first NBA start, tallying ten points with 4/4 makes, six rebounds, one block, and one steal over 24 minutes.
