"We needed to go on a run," Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said. "We'd come back from that long road trip. The Atlanta game was going to be a hard game anyway, we knew that, alright, we were still trying to figure it out with what lineups without Dame (Lillard) and all that.

With only a weekend of basketball left on the schedule, the Milwaukee Bucks are 46-34. They currently own the No. 5 seed and will not have homecourt advantage this season.
