The Milwaukee Bucks have won three straight games and a number of players deserve recognition for the key roles they have played in those victories.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been on a roller coaster of a season, early in the year riding high on the back of a breakout season from Giannis Antetokounmpo and beating the Cavaliers in Cleveland.

Jabari Parker was electric, Malcolm Brogdon was an unexpected rookie sensation and this team was discussing which seed it preferred.

Then came the drop, with Milwaukee’s season disintegrating around it. A 4-14 stretch spanning January and February dropped the Bucks completely out of the playoffs and hearts of many fans who drifted off to root for Houston, Washington or Denver.

At the tail end of the losing streak, Parker was left writhing in pain on the court, his ACL torn for the second time in three years. It seemed the team’s playoff hopes were dimmed and the only victory they could claim was getting rid of Miles Plumlee’s $50 million contract.

But NBA seasons are rarely linear and the Bucks have shown over the last few games that their season is not over yet. Winners of three straight and seven of their last 10, what have been the keys to their recent success?
