Charlie Bell needs just two three pointers to pass Mo Williams (273) for 5th place in Bucks history.

Milwaukee’s reserves in the backcourt did their part in taking care of the basketball in the season opener. Tyronn Lue finished with five assists without a turnover and Charlie Bell had five assists against just one turnover – allow us to work out that ratio – Lue and Bell combined for a 10.0:1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Milwaukee has gone 6-4 in the second game of the season over the last 10 years.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute played 26 minutes in his NBA debut and contributed six points, two rebounds and two steals. He became the 10th player out of UCLA to see action with the Bucks, the most of any college.

The Bucks have advanced to the postseason 25 times in their history, or about 62.3 percent of the time. The outcome of the first game has little to do with that percentage as their postseason rate is at 62.3 percent for both wins and losses in the season opener.
