Milwaukee Bucks Make History With Earliest Playoff Clinch Ever

The Milwaukee Bucks have been more than dominant this season, producing a stellar record thus far of 48-8. With the regular season winding down, they still have an outside shot at winning 70 games.

Late Sunday night, the Bucks became the fastest team in NBA history to clinch a playoff spot ever. This coming after the Chicago Bulls beat the Washington Wizards 126-117. The Wizards’ loss gave the Bucks the incredibly fast playoff berth.

Although the bottom of the Eastern Conference is relatively weak, this still shows the dominance of the Bucks this season as they sit 6.5 games ahead of second-place Toronto and 27.5 games ahead of the ninth-place Wizards.

Star player Giannis Antetokounmpo is on track to receive the MVP Award and the team not only has the best record, but also the best defense and best net rating.
