The Milwaukee Bucks did it again on Tuesday night.
With amazing work from Jrue Holiday (40 points), Giannis Antetokounmpo (36), and others, the Bucks took down the Boston Celtics, 131-125.
Of course, it’s commendable when any team is able to overcome the Celtics, who are still top dogs in the league.
But it’s even more astonishing because it continued a remarkable win streak.
The Bucks are on an 11 game win streak and are 17-4 in their last 21 games
They are now 0.5 games behind 1st Seed

The Bucks are now on an 11-game win streak and are 17-4 in their last 21 games.
Perhaps most importantly, the Bucks are now just .5 games behind the top-seeded Celtics.
If the Bucks keep playing this way, they will do something that no other team has been able to all season long: they will become the best team in the East.
What is making all of this possible?
Of course, Antetokounmpo is a massive part of the team’s recent streak.
Since this latest string of wins began, the Greek Freak has averaged 37.2 points, 13.4 rebounds, and 5.8 assists a game.
But he’s not the only one who is playing championship-level ball.
Holiday, who did so amazingly on Tuesday, has been good for 19.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 6 assists while big man Brook Lopez has averaged 12.8 points and 7.3 rebounds.
Even Khris Middleton, who has slowly been looking more like himself, has been putting up 15.3 points and 4.7 rebounds a game.
The entire team has been focused and getting better when it matters most.
Antetokounmpo promised fans that this season was going to be a return to glory and they’d reach the Finals again.
Based on what we’ve seen lately, that could be very possible.
