Four keys to the Milwaukee Bucks winning a second consecutive NBA championship


The Bucks are 6-1 in the playoffs over the past two seasons when one of their Big Three, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Middleton and Jrue Holiday is sidelined.

In their first three seasons under coach Mike Budenholzer, the Bucks never finished lower than ninth in defensive rating. Last season, they were the best defense in the playoffs en route to the championship.The Bucks certainly looked the part in the first round.
