| GOING WHERE NO DEER HAVE GONE BEFORE – The Bucks have allowed 91 points or less in each of the last four
games, tied for the third longest streak of that nature in team history. Outside of the 1998-99 lockout shortened
season*, the team’s longest streak of 91 or fewer points given up is five, set by last season’s club from March 3-
12. Not including the lockout shortened season, Scott Skiles coached teams have the longest streak of games
allowing 91 points or fewer and a total of four of the six streaks of four or more games. Holding Golden State, the
7th highest scoring team in the NBA at 104.7 points per game, to 91 or fewer points would equal the non-lockout
record set last season. *In the lockout year the Bucks had a streak of six consecutive games allowing 91 or fewer
points and two streaks with four games of allowing 91 or fewer.* DEFENSIVE DEER – The Bucks have allowed foes to score 100-plus points just once this season (in OT at Boston), giving the team a nine-game stretch without giving up 100 points in regulation. That is the longest streak to start a season in team history outside of the shortened 1998-99 season when Charlotte scored 113 in the first game (in overtime) and not again until Indiana scored 109 in the 18th game of the year. New Orleans is the only team yet to give up 100 points this season. Milwaukee is giving up 91.3 points each night, good for third in the league. IN RESERVE – The Bucks bench has been bountiful so far this season and has outscored its opponents’ bench in seven of nine games. Over the last five games, the Bucks have a 191-136 (38.2-27.2) advantage from the bench. Corey Maggette leads the Bucks bench with 14.1 points, which ranks second on the team and seventh amongst NBA reserves, in 21.7 minutes per game (which is tied for 32nd in minutes played for reserves in the league). SWEET MUSIC – Just like a waltz uses 3/4 timing, over the last three tilts, the Andrew Bogut, Earl Boykins, Brandon Jennings and Corey Maggette quartet has put up sweet shooting numbers. Bogut is shooting 66.7 percent from the field (16-24), Boykins 62.5 (10-16), Jennings 50.0 (20-40) and 57.1 from three (8-14) and Maggette is 60.9 (14-23). As a team, the Bucks are shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 36.2 from 3-point range over the last three compared to 40.1 percent from the field and 33.6 from three over the first six games of the season. 10 + 5 + 5 = W – On Wednesday Brandon Jennings had his second consecutive game with at least 10 points, five assists and five rebounds (he finished with 19 points, six assists and five rebounds). In each of the Bucks four wins, they’ve had a player reach those numbers – Brandon Jennings three times and John Salmons once. Jennings is tied for 8th with those three games, LeBron James leads the league with six and six players have four. When you advance the numbers to 19, five and five, Jennings is tied with four other players for second (Tyreke Evans, Pau Gasol, Russell Westrbrook and Deron Williams – LeBron James leads with four). Last season Bucks players had 30 games of at least 10, 5 and 5 with Brandon Jennings leading the way with 14. NEARING NUMBERS –Andrew Bogut and other Bucks are closing in on personal milestones. Bogut (3,068) has passed Alton Lister (3,062) for ninth place in franchise history for rebounds and needs 12 to pass Vin Baker (3,079) for eighth and 20 to pass Jack Sikma (3,087) for seventh. With 4,320 points he needs 17 to pass Jay Humphries (4,336) for 20th. Carlos Delfino (249) is one steal away from 250 for his career and (346) four threes to reach 350. John Salmons (449) needs one 3-pointer for 450 in his career. Keyon Dooling is two steals away from 400. Brandon Jennings reached 500 field goals for his career on Wednesday. Drew Gooden (6,977) is 23 points away from 7,000. Corey Maggette (11,945) is 55 points away from 12,000 for his career.
