Right now, the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo are on fire. Therefore on Monday night, they recorded their 15th straight victory, 110-101 over the Orlando Magic. Currently with a record of 21-3, they’re tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for the best record in the sport.

Their superstar had 32 points and 15 rebounds, which is becoming his usual act. Following the game, Giannis had this to say. Indeed, he was happy Orlando provided a little bit of a test in the midst of this long winning streak.
“Sometimes, it’s good to have close games. You learn from that. You get used to being in close games and not always winning by 20 or 30. We got the win, we grinded it out and played defense, but I think the two days in between made us a little bit rusty.”
In addition, veteran Khris Middleton needs mention because he had 20 points in his own right.
Furthermore, Milwaukee entered the game leading the league in points (121) and rebounds (51.8) per game according to ESPN. They will host the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday after a day off.
Of course it’s hard not to think back to this video we posted around the time this hot streak kicked off. It was titled ‘Are the Milwaukee Bucks Ready To Rule the NBA?’.
Without question, Milwaukee has taken the ball and answered with a resounding ‘yes’. It’s hard to remember a team that was in this type of groove this early. Still, you wonder if the Bucks will keep rolling through the season, or they’re experiencing the ever-dangerous early peak.
