Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks failed to stack up wins before a difficult stretch and now, the Greek Freak is feeling a sense of urgency in their upcoming assignments.
The Bucks are 2-4 in their last six games, with most recent defeat against OKC. They lost games at the Fiserv Forum, ones they were expected to win.
Right now, they are good at home with a 23-12 record. Road is a totally different situation.
The team are currently 14-17 away from home and with their upcoming trip to the West, Antetokounmpo said they need to win them for them to build good habits.
“In order for you to be a good team, you gotta win on the road,” Antetokounmpo said.
“At times, we have won on the road and at times we haven’t. We haven’t been as good, I think, on the road this year that we’ve been in the past. Just gotta go take it a game at a time and try to get some wins on the road.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s first call for better road game performances
It was in March 1 when Antetokounmpo first talked about how important their road games are. The team somehow delivered.
First, they beat the Dallas Mavericks and then won again against the Atlanta Hawks at the State Farm Arena.
“In order for you to win something, win a series or win a championship, you have to be able to have built good habits and win on the road. That’s all I care about. This is a great win on the road and now we have to build off it,” he said.
They only had one game after that and it resulted to a loss against the Indiana Pacers.
The teams they will face on the road are the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns, and Denver Nuggets.
They will return home on Friday to face the New York Knicks who they are yet to beat this season.
