The Milwaukee Bucks were all smiles on Wednesday night as they headed into their Central Division matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The players were noticeably in a jovial mood, and it did not look like this was a team that had just gone through a disastrous turn of events. In fact, it even looked like they were celebrating.
Milwaukee Bucks Players in a Great Mood Ahead of Cavs Game
A few moments ahead of Wednesday’s tipoff, the players went on their customary pre-game rituals on the court. What made all this different was that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. were dancing and jumping around as if they had already won the game.

If you ask me, this did not look like a squad that was mourning the exit of their head coach barely 24 hours ago. If anything, the players looked like they were delighted with the recent turn of events.
The folks on Twitter seem to agree. The social media warriors just could not help but point out the cheerful vibe this team was giving off right after now-ex-head coach Adrian Griffin was given the axe:

There’s now more reason to celebrate for the Bucks after they secured a convincing wire-to-wire victory over the Cavs, 126-116, thereby marking their first game in the post-Adrian Griffin era with a win.
