An amazing stat from last night's Bucks game

Published Jan. 13, 2012 at 10:05 a.m.

The Bucks remained perfect at home (4-0) with a 102-93 win over Central Division foe Detroit last night at the Bradley Center.

While Brandon Jennings paced the Bucks with 27 points, and Stephen Jackson chipped in with 25 points, the most amazing stat from the night was that both teams didn't miss a single free throw.

The Bucks (17-17) and the Pistons (24-24) were perfect from the free throw line, marking only the second time in the shot clock era (since 1954-55) that both teams went without a miss from the charity stripe.

On Dec. 22, 2000, both the Hawks (11-11) and Raptors (5-5) made all of their free throw attempts. Thanks to the Bucks and the Elias Sports Bureau for this cool nugget.

Last night's win was No. 400 for head coach Scott Skiles, making him the 39^th coach in NBA history to reach that mark.

Rookie Jon Leuer became the first University of Wisconsin player to start a game for the Bucks. The only other Badger hoopster to play a regular season game for Milwaukee was Paul Grant in 1998-99.

The Bucks play the Dallas Mavericks at 7:30 p.m. at the American Airlines Center tonight. Last season, the Bucks won both meetings against the Mavericks who went on to win the 2011 NBA Championship. The Bucks are seeking their first road victory of this young shortened season.

Bob Boozer passes away

Does team need size?

The Milwaukee Bucks once had a 7-footer roaming the paint and traded him away this spring. Now, the team looks to replace Andrew Bogut - but they`re not sure how.

Build it now

The average attendance at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1995 was 13,427. Let`s remember this, Milwaukee, as without Miller Park we would have never lured new ownership, new players and eventually a return to greatness and huge crowds that are the envy of much-larger cities. Now, it`s the Bucks` turn.
