Bucks match last seasons victory total

December 27, 2014 By Bill Scott

Milwaukee Bucks logo 2It took a whole season for the Milwaukee Bucks to reach 15 victories last season.  Last night, the Bucks matched that victory total before the end of the calendar year.

Jared Dudley was a perfect 10 for 10 from the field to lead the Bucks with 24 points in their 107-77 pounding of the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena Friday night.

The victory ended a 2-game losing streak and pushed the Bucks back to the .500 mark with a 15-15 record.  Brandon Knight added 16 points for the Bucks in the victory.

The Bucks played without Ersan Ilyasova again.  After just one game back from a broken nose, Ilyasova was forced to sit with a concussion.  Center Larry Sanders also sat with an illness.

But the Bucks bench has been the best in the league all-season and it was that way again last night.  The Bucks reserves tallied 54 points, including a perfect 4 for 4 from three-point range.

The Bucks turned 23 Atlanta turnovers into 30 points and had just 15 turnovers themselves.

The two teams return to Milwaukee to play the back-end of a home-and-home at the BMO Harris Bradley Center (7:30pm).
