Milwaukee kept its perfect mark at the start of the NBA season after dramatically escaping from the clutches of the young Pistons teams who came close to handing them their first loss of the season.
A Jrue Holiday basket with 45 seconds left was enough to secure the Bucks’ win over Detroit in a close 108-110 that allows Milwaukee to leave their mark at 6-0 and be only one win away from equaling their best start to the season and they could get it this Wednesday, facing the Pistons again.
The Bucks to match their best start to the campaign
In addition to being the only team that has not lost this season, Milwaukee is close to matching its best winning streak in a row when starting a season that is 7 wins.
They have achieved this mark twice. the first was in 1971-72 and the second just a few years ago in the 2018-2019 campaign. In both cases the team finished the season with 60 wins, in 71-72 they finished with a mark of 63-19 and in 2018-2019 with a mark of 60-22.
Estos Bucks led by Giannis Antetokounmpo they’ll look to match that best start on Wednesday, Nov. 2 when they host the Pistons again at the Fiserv Forum.
There’s no question that when they have all their weapons available, Milwaukee is a clear favorite to consider as an NBA title contender. We’ll see how far they can take this good start.
