The record no one saw coming: AJ Green surpasses Lillard in the Bucks

AJ Green had a historic night surpassing a record set by Damian Lillard in the Milwaukee Bucks' victory over the Brooklyn Nets, solidifying his impact from the three-point line.

Green entered the game with 216 three-pointers in the 2025-26 season, very close to the record that Lillard had set during his time with the franchise. He needed five to surpass it, and not only did he achieve that, but he did it with an outstanding performance.

In 41 minutes on the court, he scored 35 points with an impressive 11-for-16 shooting from beyond the arc, in addition to adding five rebounds, four assists, and two steals. His three-point accuracy placed him third historically in most three-pointers in a single season with Milwaukee.

Green's performance led the way to a 125-107 victory over Brooklyn. The team displayed a great collective effort, with six players reaching double digits in scoring.

Cormac Ryan contributed 28 points, while Taurean Prince achieved 18 points and 10 rebounds. Also noteworthy were Myles Turner with 13 points and five blocks, Ousmane Dieng with 12 points and 12 assists, and Jericho Sims with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
