With their 118-96 win over the Timberwolves on Thursday, the Bucks capped off an undefeated preseason and Giannis Antetokounmpo thinks it's just the beginning of something special.
Antetokounmpo spoke with media after the Bucks' win and said it's "scary how good we can be" this season.
"Just the habits that we built these five games," Antetokounmpo said, (via ESPN). "I think defensively the way we played, we were really active as a team covering for one another, but going 5-0 doesn't mean nothing. It doesn't count.
"As we move forward, it gets harder and harder, and hopefully in these five games we built good habits that can carry over into the regular season."

The 24-year-old scored 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting to go along with 14 rebounds and three blocks in Thursday's game. As the Bucks turn their sights to the regular season, Antetokounmpo says he expects to build on where he is now.
"As I move on into the regular season, usually I get better," Antetokounmpo said. "I learn how guys guard me, I learn how my teammates want the ball and it gets easier. Obviously, you get mentally and physically tired, but it gets way better. I feel real good."
Milwaukee travels to Houston to kick off its regular season Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
