Matchup History
The Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers have had many memorable contests throughout the years, dating back to the 1970s when their roster was headlined by young center Lew Alcindor, now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Since then, the teams have faced off several times, including for nine different playoff series – the most recent of which, the 2001 Eastern Conference Championship, went seven games and led to the only NBA Finals appearance of Sixers legend Allen Iverson.
The 76ers hold a 29-20 record against the Bucks in postseason play, including the 1983 Eastern Conference Finals won by Philadelphia, who would go on to secure the NBA Championship. Today, when these teams go head-to-head, it’s must-see TV, as two-time NBA MVP and 2021 NBA Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo takes on 2022-23 NBA MVP and two-time NBA scoring champion Joel Embiid.
The Sixers and Bucks faced off on four occasions during the 2022-23 regular season. The two teams split the series, with each team winning two of the four matchups, one at home and one on the road.
Their first road matchup, as well as the season opener for both teams, resulted in a very close win for the Bucks with a final score of 118-117. Their last two games on February 25 and March 14 resulted in two more wins for the Bucks.
The 2024-25 season included four matchups between the Sixers and Bucks. The two teams faced off in the season opener on October 23 in Philly, resulting in a Bucks victory. The 76ers faced the Bucks in Milwaukee on January 19, losing 123-109. They returned to Milwaukee on February 9, losing 127-135. Their final matchup of the regular season was April 3 in Philadelphia where the Sixers fell 113-126
In the first of four regular-season matchups, the Sixers beat the Bucks in Milwaukee 123–114 in an overtime finish on November 20. They met again on December 5, also in Milwaukee, where the Sixers picked up another win, 116–101. The next game between the two teams is on January 27 in Philadelphia.
