Bad 4th quarter sends Bucks to their 4th straight loss (2/17/12 - 10:35pm)
By: Justin Hull
The Milwaukee Bucks (12-18) were outscored 22-11 in the 4th quarter as they lost on the road to the Orlando Magic (20-11) 94-85 Friday night. The loss is the 7th in the Bucks last 9-games.
Another poor shooting night for the Bucks as they finished the night at 36.7% from the field. Carlos Delfino led 4-Bucks in double figures with 16-points. Dwight Howard had an easy night in the paint for Orlando posting a game high 26-points along with 20-boards. Milwaukee was thin in the middle as Drew Gooden did not make the trip after suffereing a wrist injury in Wednesday's loss to New Orleans.
The Bucks will look to snap their skid Sunday night when they visit the New Jersey Nets (8-23). That game can be heard on AM 1570/95.3 FM the Score with a 6:00 tip and a 5:40 pregame.
Bucks drop 5th straight at home (2/15/12 - 10:15pm)
By: Justin Hull
On paper, the New Orleans Hornets looked like exactly what the struggling Milwaukee Bucks needed. Instead, the Hornets notched just their 6-win in 29-games this season with a 92-89 victory over the Bucks Wendesday night at the Bradley Center. The loss was the 5th straight at home for the Bucks and their 6th defeat in their last 8-games.
Ersan Ilyasova led the Bucks with a game-high 23-points off the bench while Brandon Jennings added 18 in a losing cause. Marco Belinelli led the Hornets with 22-points in the victory. Chris Kaman pitched in with 18-points and 10-rebounds for New Orleans; Kaman is one of the names that has been tossed around as a possibility for Milwaukee in the trade market to make up for the loss of Andrew Bogut.
Milwaukee now sits at 12-17 and continue to drop in the conference sanity as the New York Knicks (14-15) won their 7th straight Wednesday night. Milwaukee visits Orlando Friday for a 6:00 pm tip.
Bucks fall short of season sweep of Miami (2/13/12 - 10:05pm)
By: Justin Hull
The Milwaukee Bucks (12-16) could not make it 3 for 3 against the Miami Heat (22-7) this season as the Heat pummled the Bucks 114-96 at the Bradley Center Monday night. The loss was the 5th in the last 7-games for the Bucks.
Lebron James went off for 25-points to lead Miami. Carlos Delfino notched a Bucks high 24-points. Brandon Jennings offensive struggles continued as he posted just 12-points. Jennings has just one 20-point game in his last 6 with only 3-games of double-figures in that stretch.
Milwaukee has also fallen out of the 8th and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference (New York at 13-15). The Bucks will be back at it Wednesday night with a visit from the New Orleans Hornets.
