Two months later, the Bucks count to two again

October 28 and 30 Bucks beat the Knicks and Warriors and if it has to be emphasized, it’s because Doc Rivers’ troops haven’t won two games in a row in two months! That’s why we had to wait for December 27th and 29th, against Chicago and Charlotte, to repeat this performance, which in an 82-game season and for a team that intends to aim high, is frankly no achievement…

However, after very difficult weeks, this success against the Hornets is notable for Milwaukee players. “It feels good”, Kevin Porter Jr. breathes. “It’s been a long time: from October, now we’re getting to January. I hope we can win the third consecutive victory.”

How it will be against Washington this Wednesday is entirely possible. Giannis Antetokounmpo, back for two games, believes the Bucks are getting theirs back “usual level” and is already thinking about what comes next, January 2026, a difficult month for the Bucks (Lakers, Nuggets, Thunder, Wolves on the program…).

January will ‘make us or break us’

“We’re a really good team. We just need to get rid of the emotions. We allowed ourselves to be overwhelmed by emotions, especially me. When things go wrong, you can’t complain, you’re looking for the ball or the whistle. We didn’t deserve anything for that.” describes the Greek. “We have to win every possession and put ourselves in a position to succeed. I liked our two games against Chicago and Charlotte. We have a complicated month ahead, which will either make us improve or break us.”

But even a third straight win on the final day of 2025, or even a fourth or fifth since it’s the Hornets, once again, and then the Kings, won’t be enough to uncork the champagne. As a reminder, Milwaukee has a record of 14-19 and ranks only 11th in the Eastern Conference.

“We should not have illusions. It is good to win two matches in a row, but we must not rest on our laurels.warns Miles Turner. “We’ve had a lot of injuries and we need to win as many matches as possible, as soon as possible.”announces Doc Rivers. “There’s no need to talk about the pressure, it’s there.”
