Bucks snap losing streak, win in Toronto

February 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Carlos Delfino gave the Milwaukee Bucks a much-needed lift.  Facing his former team, Delfino scored 25 points to lead the Bucks to a 105-99 win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.

Delfino hit 6 of 8 three-pointers for the Bucks.  Drew Gooden added 20 points and 14 rebounds, Mike Dunleavy had 18 and Stephen Jackson 17 points in the win. 

Milwaukee’s leading scorer, point guard Brandon Jennings was relatively quiet for the second night in-a-row.  Jennings scored just 11 points and hit only 3 of 12 from the field.  Jennings came in averaging more than 19 points a game. 

The Bucks are off today.  They’ll face the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Friday night.

Redd reflects on his time in Milwaukee (Audio)

February 8, 2012 By

After spending 11 years with the Milwaukee Bucks, Michael Redd returned to

Michael Redd as a Buck

the Bradley Center as a member of the Phoenix Suns last night.  On his way to the lockerroom, Redd took a turn towards the Bucks lockerroom, the same lockerroom he’s occupied for many home games.  This time, Redd was turned away and pointed in the direction of the visiting lockerroom. 

Redd has made quite an impact during his stay with the Bucks, ranking 4th on the team’s all-time scoring list.  But now, he’s a member of the Phoenix Suns after signing there at the start of the season. 

Redd didn’t play in the first matchup against the Bucks in Phoenix back on January 8th while coming back from a knee injury.  But his playing time has been increasing of late.  He scored 14 points for the Suns in their 107-105 win over the Bucks last night.

Bucks without Bogut indefinitely

January 27, 2012 By

The Milwaukee Bucks learned on Thursday that they would be without center Andrew Bogut indefinitely.

The 2005 t0p overall pick suffered a fractured foot in Wednesday’s victory at Houston while coming down awkwardly on a Houston player’s foot.  An MRI found the fracture in Bogut’s left ankle on Thursday.

Bogut was playing his 400th career NBA game and is averaging 11.3 points and 8.3 rebounds a game this season.

Bogut missed the end of the 2009-10 season when he dislocated his right elbow, sprained his right wrist and broke his right hand in a hard fall to the floor. 

He also missed 43 games, including the final 31, with an injured lower back in the 2008-09 season.
