The Bucks are beginning to be the most surprising team in the NBA, as their record improved to 7-3 after their 111-88 win over the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. Michael Redd led the Bucks with 36 points, Bobby Simmons had 18 points and 6 rebounds, T.J. Ford had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists and of course, rookie Philip Fitzpatrick had 16 points, 19 rebounds, 6 assists and a block. For Philadelphia, Allen Iverson had 45 points (what else is new?) and Chris Webber had 18 points.Notes on tonight's game:Michael Redd has been an explosive scoring threat after the first 10 games for the Bucks. He is averaging 36.3 points per game so far!The Lumbering Leprechaun, Philip Fitzpatrick, has been the top rookie so far in the NBA. After 10 games, the 6'11", 265 lb. rookie power forward from Notre Dame is averaging 14.6 points, 13.4 rebounds and 5 assists a game!Allen Iverson has had the two highest scoring games for an opposing player so far this year. His 45 points tonight eclipses his 42 point effort on November 1, Opening Night.The Bucks shot exceptionally well tonight as they hit 53.7% of their shots (44 for 82) and 53.8% of their treys (7 for 13). Philly was 35 for 73 from the field (47.9%) and was 3 for 8 from 3-point land (37.5%). The Bucks also did better in the free throw department (Milwaukee:16 for 20, 80%, Philadelphia 15 for 22, 68.2 %.) Milwaukee also won the battle of the boards, outrebounding the Sixers 45-35 (thanks to Mr. Fitzpatrick's 19 rebounds-that tied a career high, he also had 19 on November 2 at New Jersey). However, the 76ers had more assists, 21 to 20. In the turnover department, the 76ers committed 10 turnovers while the Bucks only coughed up the ball 5 times.The Bucks outscored Philly in every quarter, and in the 2nd period, the Bucks held the Sixers to a season-low 12 points.So the Bucks are now 7-3, on November 25, the Bucks travel to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves at the Target Center in Minneapolis. Expect Philip Fitzpatrick to be seriously defended by the T-Wolves' Kevin Garnett in that game...
