Things didn’t get much better the rest of the second half as the Bucks managed to score just 31 points in the final two quarters.
Larry Drew finally had a bench to use. After battling through numerous injuries, a total of 12 players dressed for the game. But sloppy basketball cost the Bucks and gave Portland it’s 8th straight victory.
Luke Ridnour had 13 pints in his first start of the season to lead the Bucks in scoring.
The Bucks are off until tomorrow night (Friday) when they take on the 76ers in Philadelphia.
