NBA professional basketball team season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1990–91 NBA season was the Bucks' 23rd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the off-season, the Bucks acquired Frank Brickowski from the San Antonio Spurs, and acquired Danny Schayes from the Denver Nuggets.[2][3][4] However, Larry Krystkowiak would miss the entire season with a knee injury.[5][6] The Bucks started the season on a strong note winning their first 18 home games on their way to a 25–8 start. However, they would lose ten of their next twelve games, and held a 30–19 record at the All-Star break.[7] Sixth man Ricky Pierce and Alvin Robertson were both selected for the 1991 NBA All-Star Game; it was Pierce's only All-Star appearance.[8][9] At midseason, Pierce was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics in exchange for Dale Ellis.[10][11][12][13] In April, the team signed free agent and former All-Star forward Adrian Dantley, as Ellis went down with a lower back injury.[14][15][16] The Bucks would make their 12th consecutive playoff appearance finishing third in the Central Division with a 48–34 record, while posting a 33–8 home record at the Bradley Center.[17]
