Bucks win, Bucks win! BUCKS WIN! A big comeback over LeBron & Co., 124 to 120!






(ON THE LEFT)
And so it continues, but better luck in January against
the Bucks, LBJ and Cleveland.
(ON THE RIGHT) Big Cat had his best game as a Buck against Cleveland.

The Bucks continue to win huge games, and tonight against LeBron James and the up-and-coming Cleveland Cavaliers, they came back from a 70-57 halftime deficit to beat the Cavs, 124-120 tonight at the Bradley Center, raising their record to 12-6 so far this season. All 5 starters scored in double figures for the Bucks, led by Michael Redd, who had 31 points and 5 rebounds. 7-foot-1 inch rookie sensation Philip Fitzpatrick had another solid night, he had 20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks. T.J. Ford also shined in the game, he had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. And even though he fouled out late in the game, Jamaal Magloire had an outstanding night, scoring 20 points on 9-for-10 shooting and hauled down 10 rebounds. Every player on the Bucks (except guard Jermaine Jackson) scored in the game, with Bobby Simmons netting 10 points, Mo Williams adding 8 points, Joe Smith, Dan Gadzuric and Toni Kukoc had 4 points each while Charlie Bell and Jiri Welsch each had 3 points as the Bucks had a well-rounded scoring attack, registering a season-high 124 points scored tonight. The Cavaliers were led by LeBron James, he had 41 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, as he led a Cavs team that had 6 players in double figures. Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 15 points and Ronald "Flip" Murray tallied 12 points for Cleveland. Cleveland's top rebounder was Anderson Varejao, who had a game-high 11 rebounds, along with 8 points (on 4-of-4 shooting), 4 assists, 2 steals and a block. The Bucks outscored the Cavs 69-50 in the 2nd half, led by "Fightin' Fitzie" with 13 points and Magloire with 12. And the Bucks cooled off a hot LeBron, who scored 30 in the 1st half, they held him to just 11 points in the last 24 minutes. So the Bucks win a shootout at the BC Corral against the James Gang, now they head to New York as they play at Madison Square Garden, taking on the Knicks on December 12. That means it's a homecoming for Bucks' center-forward Philip Fitzpatrick, who lives in New Hyde Park, N.Y., and has invited his family and friends to see him play. Hope Fightin' Fitzie's family and friends send Spike Lee, Whoopi Goldberg, Woody Allen and the New York A-list Knick fans home very early during the game...


Celebrate, BucksNation, we can do it!
