A year after a franchise-worst 67-loss season, the Bucks are headed to the playoffs.
Ersan Ilyasova scored 21 points and coach Jason Kidd’s team relied on defense in a 96-73 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday that wrapped up the playoff spot and the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Bucks are the first team since the 2008-09 Miami Heat to make the playoffs a year after having the NBA’s worst record.
