The Milwaukee Bucks proved themselves yet again by earning their fourth straight victory in the Bucks vs Wizards game on Wednesday, May 6, with an overall score of 135-134.
The Bucks could have easily been defeated. They were coming off two emotional victories over the Nets, and their second-leading scorer Khris Middleton was sitting out due to knee soreness. But, through their group effort, they were able to win against the Washington Wizards in a very tight game.
