AJ Green delivered a historic shooting performance as the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Brooklyn Nets 125-108 on Friday night at Fiserv Forum. Green scored a career-high 35 points and set a franchise single-game record with 11 made three-pointers.
Milwaukee controlled the game from long range, finishing 24-of-48 from beyond the arc. The Bucks used efficient perimeter shooting and ball movement to secure a strong finish in their home finale.
Green went 11-of-16 from three-point range, surpassing the previous franchise mark of 10 made threes shared by Ray Allen and Damian Lillard. He also pushed his season total to 227 made threes, closing in on Ray Allen’s single-season franchise record of 229 set in 2001-02.
Cormac Ryan added a career-best 28 points in his first start, providing another perimeter scoring boost. Taurean Prince contributed a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 6-of-11 from deep-range attempts.
Milwaukee played without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who missed his 14th consecutive game due to a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. The absence continued a prolonged stretch away from the lineup as the franchise navigates uncertainty around his status.
Brooklyn was led by Tyler Etienne, who scored a career-high 23 points, while Malachi Smith added 19 points and 10 assists. The Nets generated scoring bursts from the perimeter but struggled to match Milwaukee’s efficiency and volume shooting.
A key turning point came late in the third quarter when Brooklyn’s E.J. Liddell was ejected for a forearm contact incident following a foul by Jericho Sims. The Nets lost momentum after the decision and were unable to recover in the fourth quarter.
The Bucks now close their season schedule on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers, while the Nets head to face the Toronto Raptors in their final matchup.
