Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green set the franchise single-game record with 11 3-pointers, scoring a career-high 35 points in a 125-108 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. Cormac Ryan added a career-best 28 points for the Bucks, who shot 24-of-48 from beyond the arc as a team.

Why it matters

Green now has 227 3-pointers on the season, chasing the franchise single-season record of 229 set by Allen in 2001-02. Taurean Prince added 18 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee.
