Bucks AJ Green buries 11 treys to wrap home slate with victory over Nets
Apr 10, 2026; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Taurean Prince (12) shoots against Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Saraf (77) during the second quarter at Fiserv Forum. Mandatory Credit: Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images AJ Green scored a career-high 35 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 125-108 victory over the visiting Brooklyn Nets in Milwaukee’s final home game of the season.
Milwaukee snapped a two-game losing skid as Green also became just the third Buck ever to make 10 or more 3-pointers in a game (11-for-16). 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.
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.
The Nets only played seven players and each contributed double figures. Reserve Nolan Traore scored 14 points in just over 16 minutes of action.
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’s final home game.
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.
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.
Ryan led all scorers with 21 points at the break. Etienne led Brooklyn with 15.
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.
The Bucks finished the night 24-of-48 (50%) from deep, helping to balance the 17 turnovers they committed on offense.
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.
Milwaukee evened the four-game season series at 2-2 with the victory after the Nets took down the Bucks in Brooklyn on Monday.

Best Bets for Knicks vs. Spurs Game 4 at Madison Square Garden
Jun 8, 2026; New York, New York, USA; San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (2) shoots the ball against New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (32) during game three of the 2026 NBA Finals in the third quarter at Madison Square Garden. Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images The New York Knicks were living larger than Times Square when they opened the NBA Finals with two straight victories in San Antonio. But suddenly, the pressure is back on the Knicks after the Spurs delivered a big Game 3 triumph at Madison Square Garden.
New York badly needs to take Game 4 on Wednesday as a 3-1 lead sure beats being tied 2-2 with two of the final three games slated for San Antonio. And just imagine the worry the Knicks’ fans will feel if they start to sense the title drought since 1973 might continue.
The Spurs, of course, have pressures to deal with too. They don’t want to return to the Alamo City on the brink of elimination.
Spurs looked like a different team in Game 3
Digging the 0-2 hole in San Antonio put the Spurs in deep trouble but coach Mitch Johnson made adjustments and the Spurs played aggressively throughout the contest. Big man Victor Wembanyama looked fully in the moment while veterans Harrison Barnes (DNP) and Luke Kornet (nine minutes) were all but removed from the game plan.
Having three and sometimes four smaller athletic players who are solid with the ball to go with Wembanyama created positive advantages for San Antonio. Stephon Castle was sharp with 23 points while the Spurs worked around substandard shooting performances from De’Aaron Fox (4-of-14) and Dylan Harper (5-of-18).
The Knicks again saw Jalen Brunson (32 points) excel but Karl-Anthony Towns chipped in with just 11 points and is scoreless in the fourth quarter in this series. New York’s offense will have to be better Wednesday if it wants to keep the lead in the series.
Spurs plus 2.5-point spread, -115 (DraftKings)
Wemby gets physical, finds comfort zone.
Wembanyama looked more like the third-place finisher in the MVP race when he scored 32 points on 11-of-18 shooting and committed just one turnover in Game 3. The rest of the stat line included eight rebounds, six assists and three blocked shots.
He also seemed more settled in than his shaky Game 1 outing (6-of-21 shooting, six turnovers) and late Game 2 mishaps (pass off Castle’s back, missed 3-pointer prior to the buzzer) and could be ready to take control of the series. He made 18 of 29 two-point shots the past two games after making just 4 of 12 in Game 1.
Wemby also wasn’t taking any guff on Monday, though his toss of Brunson to the floor was a big-time cheap shot. He’s going to be a marked man in the Garden for the rest of his career but expect him to produce big in Game 4.

Brunson has a trusted friend named OG.
Brunson (30-plus points, +120) has attempted a whopping 81 shots in the series but is making them at just a 37% clip. His 11-of-25 showing in Game 3 was his most efficient effort and he simply will always be counted on to carry the offense in every game.
While Towns (18-plus points, -114) could rebound, OG Anunoby might be the best bet to be Brunson’s scoring sidekick in Game 4. Anunoby scored 28 points on just 13 shots (making nine) for his best output since twice scoring 29 points in the first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks.
Anunoby is 8-of-18 from 3-point range and shooting 54.3% overall in the Finals. With Towns being 0-for-6 shooting in the fourth quarter in the series, the final 12 minutes should be Anunoby’s time to share scoring duties with Brunson and his over/under is low based on his Game 3 showing.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders now 'cancer free'
Nov 1, 2025; Boulder, Colorado, USA; Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders before the game against the Arizona Wildcats at Folsom Field. Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Colorado head coach Deion Sanders announced he is “cancer free” heading into the 2026 season.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer talked about his battle with bladder cancer Tuesday on “Good Morning America.”
“I’ve got my health back. I’ve got my swagger back,” said Sanders, 58. “Last year at this time I was fighting cancer, didn’t know which way it was going to go. … I’m fully back now. Last year at this time, it wasn’t a good look.
“We fought the battle and we won the battle fighting cancer. I’m cancer free. I’m good. Great doctors in Colorado that have brought me through. God has brought me through. I’m thankful I’m healthy.”
Sanders said he underwent 14 surgeries, including the removal of his bladder.
Colorado struggled to a 3-9 finish last season following a 9-4 campaign in 2025.
“I’m ready to go coach my butt off this season,” Sanders said. “I’m having a good time.”
Sanders is 16-21 with one bowl appearance through his first three seasons in Boulder.
The Buffaloes open the season at Georgia Tech on Sept. 3.
A two-time Super Bowl champion and six-time All-Pro cornerback, Sanders played 14 NFL seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Washington and the Baltimore Ravens. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011.
