The Milwaukee Bucks have been very versatile in their approach. They were very successful containing the deadly duo of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. Giannis has put his efforts on both ends of the court. He has been offensively dominant but a beast on defence. Their last game against the LA Lakers is vivid example where Giannis had 3 blocks and 2 steals. Bucks are on the climb in East. They are stronger than ever and are championship contenders.
