MADISON -- The Milwaukee Bucks achieved a 106-88 pre-season victory in a matchup vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Kohl Center in Madison on Tuesday, October 20th.

This game, which featured a 7:00 p.m. tip, marked the first full-team appearance by the Bucks in Madison since an exhibition game in 1999.

Milwaukee played another three exhibitions in Madison during the ’80s and two more in the ’90s, but none since the 1999 matchup with Dallas.
