Just a couple of weeks ago, the Milwaukee Bucks were in the midst of a wildly exciting 16-game winning streak.
That streak was halted by the Philadelphia 76ers on March 4.
However, since then, the Bucks have won their last three games, and they have done so without Giannis Antetokounmpo for two of them.
Hoop Muse stated that the Bucks are now 19-1 in their last 20 games, a stunning feat.

Even with that one single loss against the 76ers, the Bucks are still one of the most dominant teams in the league right now.
During these last 20 games, the Bucks have taken on – and defeated – teams like the Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets, and others.
There are some who think that the defeat by the 76ers was just a fluke and that another winning streak is currently being built.
The fact that they have won the last two without Antetokounmpo is impressive, even if they were against the Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets, two inferior squads.
He shouldn’t be out for too much longer as he recovers from a hand injury and his return will only help the team’s chances.
He is putting up 31.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists a game and is the definitive team leader.
In Antetokounmpo’s absence, others such as Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, Bobby Portis, and Khris Middleton have raised their games in order to secure wins.
The Bucks have been great all season long but the last few weeks have made that even more clear.
With or without Antetokounmpo, almost no one can slow this team down.
