The 2014-15 Milwaukee Bucks season marked a significant turnaround for the team under new head coach Jason Kidd. After finishing the previous season with a dismal 15-67 record, the Bucks improved to a 41-41 record, securing the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.
A key factor in their resurgence was the emergence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who showcased his potential as a future star. The team also benefited from the solid play of Brandon Knight before his midseason trade, which brought in Michael Carter-Williams. The addition of rookie Jabari Parker was promising, although his season was cut short due to an ACL injury.
The Bucks’ season concluded with a first-round playoff exit, losing to the Chicago Bulls in six games. Despite the early playoff exit, the season was viewed as a success, laying the foundation for future growth and establishing Milwaukee as an up-and-coming team in the NBA.
- Regular Season Record: 41-41
