ALL-TIME SERIES:
Milwaukee leads 88-87

Milwaukee will try to pad its 88-87 series lead over Boston on Friday night. The series history has been pretty even as Milwaukee is 56-31 at home and Boston is 56-32 in their building. Last season the Celtics swept the series 4-0. It was just the second series victory for Boston over Milwaukee in the last 12 seasons.

The Bucks and the Celtics have met in five playoff series over the years. That’s the second-highest total (Philadelphia, nine) of any Bucks playoff foe. Their 27 playoff games is the second-highest total as well (Philadelphia, 49); Milwaukee has gone 11-16 against Boston in those games.

BUCK SHOTS

Andrew Bogut has knocked down 50.0 percent or better of his field goal attempts in all of the Bucks games (5). He is currently fourth in the NBA with a 67.5 shooting percentage (27-40).

Hopefully, the Bucks enjoy playing on back-to-back nights because their next 10 games are part of five back-to-backs. The stat box on the lower right shows how Milwaukee has fared through their first two back-to-backs.

The Bucks open their back-to-back set with Boston, the top rated team for defensive field goal percentage
(37.6) and sixth best team for opponents points per game (88.4). Milwaukee then returns to the Bradley
Center to face Phoenix, the top scoring team (106.4 points), top shooting (55.4 percent) and fourth ranked
three point shooting team (39.8)

Charlie Bell connected on his 274th three pointer in a Bucks uniform, giving him sole possession of fifth place
in franchise history. Tim Thomas is fourth with 425.

The Wizards attempted 51 free throws against the Bucks on Wednesday, the second-highest total in the NBA this season (Golden State 52). It’s the most for a Bucks foe since Indiana had 54 on February 21, 2007.

Katie Longlais was the 13 millionth fan to come through the Bradley Center turnstiles for a regular season game on Wednesday. It was her first trip to the BC to see the Bucks and she won a prize package that, among others, included a suite to a future game, a jersey and Bucks tickets and concessions cards.
