1.23.06 at the Bradley Center
A day after Kobe Bryant dropped 81 on the Raptors, Michael Redd would also make history, as he dropped 66 on the Houston Rockets in a 136-93 blowout at the Bradley Center, making Redd's performance the highest-scoring game in Bucks history. Here's a breakdown of Redd's historic night:
1ST QTR: 6-7 fg, 2-3 3pt fg, 3-4 ft, 17 pts
2ND QTR: 3-4 fg, 1-2 3pt fg, 7-7 ft, 14 pts
3RD QTR: 4-4 fg, 1-1 3pt fg, 7-7 ft, 16 pts
4TH QTR: 6-8 fg, 5-6 3pt fg, 2-2 ft, 19 pts
FINAL: 19-23 FG, 9-12 3PT FG, 19-20 FT, 66 PTS.
Other Bucks shone brightly as well.
Jamaal Magloire had a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
T.J. Ford almost had a double-double with 15 points and 8 assists.
And Hugh Fitzpatrick nearly pulled off a triple-double with 12 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists.
The Bucks were 46-85 from the field and 33-39 from the line and were 11-16 from long distance (Houston's stats were 33-85, 5-10 and 22-24, respectively). And the Bucks pounded the glass often, outrebounding Houston 50-37, and they committed fewer fouls (HOU 29, MIL 17).
In all, a great way to end a losing streak, and a historic night for Michael Redd and the Milwaukee Bucks. But on January 25 the Bucks (20-20) will have to face the dangerous Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Could they beat the Pistons like they did on November 26 back in Milwaukee?

Bucks fall under .500 for the first time. By losing to the BOBCATS!
January 21 at the Bradley Center
There was no triple-doubles in the Bobcats' 92-87 win over the Bucks, but there was a triple double-double, thanks to Primoz Brezec, Brevin Knight and Emeka Okafor. That trio helped the Bobcats hand Milwaukee their sixth straight loss and their 9th loss in 11 tries. Plus, the Bucks are under .500 for the first time this season. The 'Cats held Michael Redd in check, holding him to under 20 points and 4 of 19 shooting. But Charlotte could not stop Hugh Fitzpatrick from a big night and Jamaal Magloire from a 15-15 night and a season high for rebounds.

Fitzpatrick has his 1st 20/20 game, but Bucks lost to Atlanta.
1/20/06 at Philips Arena
Joe Johnson scored 41 points including 5 key points in OT as the lowly Atlanta Hawks handed the Bucks their 8th consecutive road loss, 117-108. The Hawks also had big contributions from Al Harrington and Josh Smith, who became the third small forward from a Bucks opponent to grab 14+ rebounds (the others: Josh Howard and James Posey). Michael Redd led the Bucks in scoring, as Milwaukee posted 6 players with double figures in points. Hugh Fitzpatrick had a monster game as he had a career high in rebounds, but a 20/20 night. But three-pointers proved to harm the Bucks on both sides of the ball, as Milwaukee made just 6 of 21 attempts and Atlanta made 11 of their 19 triples. The Bucks are now 19-19 for the season, they have never been below .500 all season, but a loss to the Bobcats tomorrow could put them 1 under .500.

...and in San Antonio
1/18/06 at the AT&T Center
San Antonio 89, Bucks (19-18) 76
After scoring 33 points in the opening quarter, the Bucks went completely flat the rest of the way, as the defending NBA Champion Spurs won 89-76, with Manu Ginobili leading the way with 22 points, 8 assists and 4 assists.
The 2nd quarter was the reason why Milwaukee lost, as they only scored six points in that period, and were 3-for-18 in field goals. They followed that up with a 14 point quarter, as they went 5-for-18 from the field. The Bucks were 30-for-74 (40.5%) from the field overall while the Spurs shot 54.4% (37 of 68), and they were 8-of-14 from long distance.
San Antonio got big contributions from:
Tony Parker, who had 16 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals
Nazr Mohammed, who was 4-4 from the field and 4-4 from the line, he had 12 points and 5 rebounds
and Brent Barry, who was 4-6 from the field, and 2-4 from 3-point range.
Despite the loss, Michael Redd led the team with 21 points, with Jamaal Magloire having a good game with 11 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists while T.J. Ford made up for his 6 point night (2-of-9 shooting) with 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals.
Hugh Fitzpatrick was just 3-for-9 from the field, but...
he grabbed 10 rebounds, made 7 assists and blocked 5 shots.
He also forced Tim Duncan to miss his first 6 shots (he went 4-13 from the field), held him to 9 rebounds and he only had 8 points.
And despite the 6 2nd quarter points and 14 in the 3rd, the Bucks outrebounded San Antonio 41-40 and had 10 steals, compared to the Spurs' 5.
But the Bucks come up empty tonight. Up next: they visit Philips Arena on 1/20 to take on the Hawks, then they host the Bobcats the next night.
The Bucks, now 19-18, have now lost 7 straight road games.

Bucks have another big win against a quality opponent.
January 14 at the Bradley Center
Bucks 101, Nuggets 91
The Bucks picked up a quality win as they beat the Northwest frontrunners, the Denver Nuggets 101-91, in a action-packed game.
for the Denver Nuggets:
Carmelo Anthony had a solid game tonight with 24 points (8-16 FG, 7-10 FT) and 7 rebounds, but he committed 5 turnovers.
Andre Miller flirted with a double-double with 17 points and 9 assists, but his stats were marred by his 4-10 FG performance.
Backup power forward Reggie Evans had 6 points and 9 rebounds while Kenyon Martin had 8 points and 8 rebounds, but Evans fouled out while Martin had 4 fouls.
The Nuggets were held to just 40% (30-for-75), and only attempted 4 3-pointers, making 2 of them.
for the Milwaukee Bucks:
Michael Redd was the top man again, as he led all scorers with 33 points. He was 10-26 from the field, 3-7 from deep but 10-11 from the line.
Hugh Fitzpatrick had a good game with 14 points and 8 rebounds, despite 5-11 FG, 4-7 FG and 5 turnovers.
T.J. Ford almost had a double-double with 13 points and 8 assists, but he had 3 steals, along with Bobby Simmons.
Jamaal Magloire had just 8 points, but was the game's leading rebounder with 12 rebounds.

Milwaukee was 38-80 from the field (47.5%) and was 6-13 from the field, but they were 19-30 from the charity stripe while Denver was 29-38.
Two interesting stats:
The Bucks won the game despite being soundly beaten on the glass, 50-39.

After scoring a career high 60 points in their last meeting, LeBron James torched the Bucks for 50 points as Cleveland trounced Milwaukee tonight.

Bucks hold Bulls to 70 points, win.
1/6/06 at the Bradley Center
Bucks 84, Chicago 70
Well, after giving up 60 points to LeBron James last game against the Cavaliers, the Bucks shut down the ENTIRE Chicago Bulls team, and it resulted to a 84-70 win.
The Bulls jumped out to an early 27-20 lead, as Luol Deng scored 10 points in the first quarter, but the Bucks rallied back to lead at half, 50-47. But in the second half, the Bulls were lost in time...like they were playing in the 1930s. The Bucks held Chicago to just 23 points in the 2nd half, and the Bucks ran away with this one, even though they only scored 34 points in the second half.
Despite both teams sending the NBA back 65 years with a boring second half, the Bucks had some stellar performance from their players.
Michael Redd only scored 18 points, but grabbed eight rebounds, while Hugh Fitzpatrick, despite scoring 11 points, had a double-double, grabbing 11 rebounds. He also handed out 4 assists. But the big surprise in tonight's game was backup center Dan Gadzuric, who did an outstanding job while Jamaal Magloire was in foul trouble. Danny G had 16 points and 8 rebounds tonight, his best performance of the season.
Despite Luol Deng being the game's leading scorer with 19 points, the Bulls played like they were playing basketball on ice, making less than 33% of their field goals, being outrebounded 50-40 and outassisted, 20-10.
Well, the good news: the Bucks played much better, allowing just a season low 70 points to a decent team. The bad news is that they must face LeBron James again as the Bucks and Cavaliers fight it out at Quicken Loans Arena January 7.
Bucks are 17-13 this season...

LeBron James scored a career high 60 points, including the game-winning basket with no time left to give the Cavs a 112-110 win over the Bucks. LeBron was 24-for-30 from the field and 11-for-12 from the line as he set a personal best for scoring, a Cavaliers record for most points scored and the 2nd most points allowed by an Bucks' opponent (Utah's Karl Malone on 1/27/90 with 61.) LBJ's 60 overshadowed another brilliant performance by Milwaukee's Michael Redd, who scored 41 points in the game and Hugh Fitzpatrick's 23 point, 11 rebound effort tonight. The Cavaliers would lead at the half 59-46, but costly fouls kept the Bucks right back in the game. The Bucks had a chance to win the game when Drew Gooden stole the ball from Fitzpatrick, who gave it to LeBron for the easy basket to give him 60 points, and to win it for Cleveland. Besides LeBron's offensive fireworks, the Cavaliers had other standout performances: Anderson Varejao had 8 points and 7 rebounds, Flip Murray had 10 points and hardly used guard Ira Newble (who came in due to foul trouble for Larry Hughes and Damon Jones) hauled down 7 rebounds. The other bright spot for Milwaukee was guard T.J. Ford, who had 12 points and 8 assists.
After letting King James rule the night with a career high 60 points, the Bucks look to regroup are prepare for the Chicago Bulls on January 6th at the Bradley Center.

Chicago Hopeless
January 2 at the United Center
Bulls 98,Bucks 82
Looked like the Bucks had too much partying last night, as the Bulls won by sixteen tonight. Chicago guard Kirk Hinrich led the stampede with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists while Luol Deng had a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds and Michael Sweetney had 17 points and 7 rebounds off the bench. Michael Redd led all scorers with 28 points while Hugh Fitzpatrick had another big night with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks. The downfall for Milwaukee was in the first half, where they scored just 35 points, and only made 33% of their shots. The Bucks ended up shooting just 35.2% from the field, and the their bench was an atrocious 5-for-21 shooting. After that horrible performance, the Bucks at least outrebounded Chicago 52 to 51, but on January 4 they have another huge home game as LeBron James and the Cavaliers come to the Bradley Center.
