1991–92 Milwaukee Bucks season

The 1991–92 NBA season was the Bucks' 24th season in the National Basketball Association.[1] In the off-season, the Bucks signed free agent and former All-Star forward Moses Malone.[2][3][4] After an 8–9 start to the season, head coach Del Harris resigned and was replaced with interim Frank Hamblen.[5] Under Hamblen, the Bucks hovered around .500 for the first half of the season, holding a 22–24 record at the All-Star break.[6] However, their glory days came to a crashing end losing 27 of 36 games after the All-Star break. The Bucks went on an 11-game losing streak as they lost 14 of their final 15 games, finishing last place in the Central Division with a 31–51 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 1979.[7]
