In the post "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar" era in Milwaukee, the Bucks had some rocky seasons. They were in and out of the playoffs and had their first head coach change in franchise history.

When the two met on November 25, they had similar records and were supposed to provide fans at the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta a close matchup.
The Hawks had a strong third quarter run, outscoring the Bucks 40-21. Atlanta was already up 29 points in the fourth quarter and was cruising for a win.
But Milwaukee managed to do the impossible and made the giant deficit disappear in less than 12 minutes, led by small forward Junior Bridgeman.
This is, to this day, the biggest fourth-quarter comeback by any team in NBA history. With a 41-11 score, it is also the fourth highest final quarter point differential.
