Giannis Antetokounmpo believes the Milwaukee Bucks’ win over the Denver Nuggets could be a pivotal moment for their season. The Bucks have been battling for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, which would secure them home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. After the Pacers’ loss on Friday, the Bucks managed to surpass them in a tiebreaker for the fourth spot.
The Bucks secured this position with a 121-112 victory over the Nuggets on Thursday, a significant win given Denver’s strong recent performance. This win has boosted the team’s confidence.
Antetokounmpo acknowledged the importance of the victory, describing it as a “playoff atmosphere” game. He explained to reporters that the team was highly focused throughout the day, arriving early to review their plays and staying afterward to study the Nuggets’ strategies. He felt the team was “locked in” and saw the win as a key step in getting back on track following a loss to the Houston Rockets.
Despite a recent loss to the Heat, the Pacers still have one of the league’s best records since January 1, and the Bucks will need to continue winning to maintain their position. Antetokounmpo is optimistic that this victory could ignite a strong run for the team. So far this season, he’s been averaging 30.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game.
