AJ Green set the Milwaukee Bucks' single-game record for 3-pointers made, hitting 11 in the team's 125-108 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. Green scored a career-high 35 points, while Cormac Ryan added 28 points in his first start for the Bucks. Milwaukee shot 24-of-48 from beyond the arc as a team.

Why it matters

The Bucks are wrapping up a rare losing season, snapping a nine-year playoff streak. This game highlighted the team's 3-point shooting prowess, but also raised questions about the future of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has been sidelined with a knee injury.

The details

Green's 11 made 3-pointers broke the previous Bucks franchise record held by Ray Allen and Damian Lillard. As a team, Milwaukee shot an impressive 50% from deep. The Bucks were without Antetokounmpo for the 14th straight game due to a left knee injury, amid an NBA investigation into the situation.

  • The game was played on Friday, April 11, 2026.
  • Green now has 227 3-pointers on the season, chasing the Bucks' single-season record of 229 set by Allen in 2001-02.
