The Milwaukee Bucks (39-31) shot just over 40% from the field Wednesday night as they fell to the Philadelphia 76ers (25-37) 101-86 at the Bradley Center. The loss snaps the Bucks eight-game home winning-streak.
Jerry Stackhouse had 15-points off the bench to lead Milwaukee. The Bucks five starters combined for only 39 points on the night led by Brandon Jennings with 12 and Carlos Delfino with 10. Milwaukee got out to another slow start and it finally caught up to them according Head Coach Scott Skiles:
