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.

Texas AG launches probe into FIFA's ticket practices
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton speaks at Texas Tech University’s chapter of Turning Point USA’s event for speakers at Cook’s Garage in Lubbock, Texas, Oct. 7, 2025. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into FIFA over alleged deceptive ticketing practices for World Cup matches in his state.
Paxton announced his probe into international soccer’s governing body Tuesday, claiming that FIFA misled fans about the location and quality of seats sold for upcoming matches.
“I will work to ensure that FIFA is engaging in ethical and honest business practices so that Texas fans are treated fairly,” he said in a statement. “Sports have a unique power to bring people together, and FIFA must understand that Texans take their competition — and their consumer rights — seriously.”
Seven matches are taking place at Houston’s NRG Stadium and nine are being played at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, including a semifinal on July 14.
In one example provided by Paxton’s office to USA Today, a fan purchased “Category 1” seats expecting premium views of the field. However, Paxton’s office said FIFA allegedly later adjusted the seat maps to move the fan’s seats to “Category 2,” which have worse views of the action.
FIFA did not respond to a request for comment from USA Today.
State attorneys general in California, New York and New Jersey have launched similar investigations.

Victoria Mboko, Serena Williams' doubles partner, injured
Mar 24, 2026; Miami Gardens, FL, USA; Victoria Mboko (CAN) hits a forehand against Karolina Muchova (CZE) (not pictured) on day eight of the 2026 Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Serena Williams’ London comeback may have ended prematurely Wednesday when doubles partner Victoria Mboko sustained a knee injury while playing singles at the HSBC Championships.
Mboko grabbed at her left knee after slipping on the grass at the Queen’s Club and was forced to retire. The 19-year-old Canadian was trailing 6-2, 3-4 to Karolina Pliskova, who advanced to the quarterfinals.
“She was improving as the match was going, so it would have been a nice match, but I wish her only the best,” Pliskova said. “Of course, this is not the way I want to win, so hopefully she’s going to be fine for Wimbledon.”
Playing for the first time in nearly four years, the 44-year-old Williams paired with Mboko to win their first doubles match on Tuesday with a 7-6 (2), 6-2 result against third-seeded Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Erin Routliffe.
Williams and Mboko are scheduled to face Leylah Fernandez and Laura Siegemund in the quarterfinals on Thursday night.
Mboko, ranked No. 9 in the world, was the No. 3 seed in the singles draw. It was the first retirement of her career at the WTA Tour level.
Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner in singles, had not played professionally since the 2022 U.S. Open.
