Bucks, Modine team up again to cultivate Wisconsin’s forests through ‘Trees for Threes’

“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to sustainability and aligns with our purpose of Engineering a Cleaner, Healthier World. The partnership underscores our dedication to the communities in Southeast Wisconsin where we live and work.”

Fans can follow the Bucks’ three-point tally at Fiserv Forum throughout the season by visiting www.Bucks.com/threes.

The Bucks and Modine are keeping their Hoop Dreams and Clean Machines program going for a third straight year. The interactive science fair engages fifth graders from Racine community schools. Every participant receives a Bucks swag bag, and the winning students are rewarded with tickets to a Bucks game later this season.

Bucks opening the season with 18 threes and a win

Giannis Antetokounmpo powered the Milwaukee Bucks to a 133-120 win over the Washington Wizards in Wednesday’s season opener at Fiserv Forum, putting up 37 points and 14 rebounds. Even after Kevin Porter Jr. exited late in the first quarter with a sprained ankle, the Bucks maintained control from start to finish.

The Bucks came out firing, hitting five of their first six three-point attempts and finishing 18 of 44 from deep. They shot 51% overall, showcasing coach Doc Rivers’ focus on spreading the floor and emphasizing perimeter offense.

Khris Middleton, returning to Milwaukee for the first time since last season’s trade, tallied 23 points against the Bucks and was met with multiple standing ovations during introductions and a tribute video in the opening quarter.

“We’re a great three-point shooting team and we didn’t shoot the three great tonight,” Bucks head coach Rivers said. “Which is a great sign.”

The Bucks head to Toronto on Friday to face the Raptors, while the Wizards will be in Dallas that same evening to take on the Mavericks.
