AJ Green’s career night

AJ Green turned Milwaukee’s final home game into a record book entry on April 10, scoring 35 points and making 11 three-pointers in a 125-108 win over Brooklyn. (espn.com) Green went 11 for 16 from behind the arc, added five rebounds and four assists, and played 41 minutes at Fiserv Forum. Milwaukee led wire to wire and finished 24 for 48 on three-point attempts. (espn.com) (nba.com) The 11 made threes broke the Bucks’ single-game franchise mark of 10 that Ray Allen and Damian Lillard had shared. Green’s 35 points were also the highest total of his National Basketball Association career. (abcnews.com) (nba.com) The game landed in a season that has gone sideways for Milwaukee. The Bucks improved to 32-49 with the win, while Brooklyn fell to 20-61, and the April 10 game was listed by the team as Fan Appreciation Night and the last home date on the 2025-26 regular-season schedule. (espn.com) (nba.com) Green’s shooting binge also pushed him to 227 made threes for the season, two shy of Allen’s Bucks single-season record of 229 from 2001-02. That left one more chase alive even after Milwaukee had fallen out of the playoff race. (abcnews.com) The night fit Green’s recent workload. He had scored 20 points with six threes against the Nets three days earlier on April 7, and he entered April averaging 13.8 points in 34.6 minutes for the month. (espn.com) Milwaukee got another unexpected scoring burst from rookie Cormac Ryan, who scored a career-high 28 points in his first start. Brooklyn was led by Tyson Etienne with 23 points, and Malachi Smith added 19 points and 10 assists. (abcnews.com) (youtube.com) For one night, a 26-year-old undrafted guard from Northern Iowa gave a losing Bucks season a clean ending at home: 11 threes, 35 points, and a franchise mark that now belongs to AJ Green alone.
