2014–15 Milwaukee Bucks season
The 2014–15 Milwaukee Bucks season is the 47th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). As of December 27, 2014, they have matched the total number of wins (15) from the 2013–14 season, their lowest in franchise history.[1]
The Bucks finished the regular season 41-41, a 26 win improvement from their disappointing previous season, and clinched the sixth seed despite losing their top pick Jabari Parker to an injury early in the season.
