The Milwaukee Bucks were the winners of arguably the greatest regular season game the NBA has ever seen, and yet in the context of the franchise and the league’s history, it’s an event that is generally only afforded the attention of a footnote.
On November 9, 1989, the Seattle SuperSonics were early season visitors to face the Bucks at the Bradley Center, and ultimately battled long into the night against Del Harris’ team in a game that has since taken on almost mythical qualities.
Milwaukee prevailed by a single point,155-154, in one of the top-20 highest scoring games in league history, the second longest game of all-time, and the longest game of the shot-clock era.
