PHILADELPHIA, PA (MetroSource-WSAU) - For the first time since 1974 the Milwaukee Bucks are the top seed in the NBA playoffs. The Bucks earned the spot with a 128-122 win at Philadelphia on Thursday night.
Giannis Antetokounmpo poured in 45 points for the Bucks. Khris Middleton returned to action and scored 22 while George Hill added 20.
The Bucks played most of last night without guard Eric Bledsoe. He was ejected less than three minutes in after an altercation with Sixers' big man Joel Embiid. Embiid tossed the ball at Bledsoe, who then fired it into Embiid's chest.
Milwaukee finishes the regular season with three home games starting Saturday with the Brooklyn Nets.
