The Milwaukee Bucks were still stinging during exit interviews Friday morning at their training facility in St. Francis, Wisconsin. They had been drummed out of the playoffs the night before in historic fashion, a 120-66 pounding at the hands of the Chicago Bulls. While the NBA world turned its attention to the highly anticipated showdown between the Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers, the Bucks were beginning the process of turning that bitter loss into motivation. Motivation to build on one of the great turnaround stories in league history, a 26-win improvement that took Milwaukee from league-worst status to .500, and a No. 6 seed in the East.
