The 2011-12 Milwaukee Bucks finished the NBA season with a 31-35 record, placing third in the Central Division and ninth in the Eastern Conference. Despite a lockout-shortened season, the Bucks were in contention for a playoff spot but ultimately fell short.
The team was led by Brandon Jennings, who averaged 19.1 points per game, and Monta Ellis, acquired in a mid-season trade from the Golden State Warriors. Ellis contributed significantly, averaging 17.6 points per game after joining the Bucks.
Milwaukee’s defense struggled, allowing an average of 98.7 points per game, which ranked 22nd in the league. Offensively, the Bucks were more productive, ranking 5th with an average of 99.0 points per game. Despite their offensive efforts, inconsistency on the defensive end and a 14-19 road record hindered their playoff ambitions.
- Regular Season Record: 31-35
