Cormac Ryan added 28 while Taurean Prince scored 18 with 10 rebounds. Jericho Sims posted a double-double off the bench with 11 points and 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Tyson Etienne led Brooklyn, who lost for the second night in a row, with 23 points. Malachi Smith nearly contributed a triple-double with 19 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets only played seven players and each contributed double figures. Reserve Nolan Traore scored 14 points in just over 16 minutes of action.<\/p>\n<p>Giannis Antetokounmpo did not play with a hyperextended knee despite speculation the Bucks would allow him to play with his brothers Thanasis and Alex in Milwaukee\u2019s final home game.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee got out to a hot start, rattling off a 15-3 run to begin the contest. The Bucks would convert 6-of-9 from beyond the arc in the first quarter, which included three treys and 18 points from Ryan and took a 38-24 lead into the second.<\/p>\n<p>The Milwaukee lead grew as high as 21 during the first quarter, but Brooklyn slowly chipped away at that deficit and cut the deficit to 66-54 at intermission.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan led all scorers with 21 points at the break. Etienne led Brooklyn with 15.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half the Bucks continued to shoot it frequently from deep and do so efficiently. Milwaukee went 8-for-16 from deep in the third and 5-for-11 in the fourth, narrowly winning both quarters to maintain a double-digit advantage throughout.<\/p>\n<p>The Bucks finished the night 24-of-48 (50%) from deep, helping to balance the 17 turnovers they committed on offense.<\/p>\n<p>Green was 6-for-9 from beyond the arc through three quarters and finished with a flourish, knocking down 5-of-7 in the final period.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee evened the four-game season series at 2-2 with the victory after the Nets took down the Bucks in Brooklyn on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013Field Level Media<\/p>\n<p>                                            <img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775896239_175_be4452b65ace878d206f2029709048c825036e3517e6a89f4eedc3d4c530e2ba.jpeg\"  class=\"avatar avatar-96 photo\" height=\"96\" width=\"96\" decoding=\"async\"\/>                                            <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AJ Green scored a career-high 35 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 125-108 victory over the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":708032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3775],"tags":[7,103,102,121,3871,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-708031","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-milwaukee-bucks","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-bucks","10":"tag-milwaukee","11":"tag-milwaukee-bucks","12":"tag-milwaukeebucks","13":"tag-nba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=708031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/708032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=708031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=708031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=708031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
