1. Thursday, April 4th at Philadelphia

One of the early intriguing games the Bucks played was against Philadelphia in Milwaukee. That game, played way back in October, was good early test to see how close the Bucks were to contending with the top teams in the East.

This, then, is the final measuring stick to see how far they’ve grown throughout the year. With just four games left in the season, the Bucks will travel to Philadelphia, this time, to take on the 76ers.

Following this game, Milwaukee has a fairly easy schedule to close out the season with all three games coming at home against the Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks and Oklahoma City Thunder. This will be the last true road test for the Bucks.

Unless one of these teams have already locked up a spot, it should be a hotly contested battle. Philadelphia is never an easy place to play in any sport and the crowd will certainly get after the visiting team. Just how far have the Bucks come over the course of the season? This game will provide the answer.
