No Thrust: Bucks Fall To Rockets » Brats & Beer

Milwaukee was really missing Michael Redd last night as the Bucks came up short against Houston 86-84. The team’s leading scorer was sidelined with back spasms, adding misery to a team that lost Mo Williams to an ankle sprain. The Bucks tried to make a game of of it, though, leading 27-15 after the first quarter, but the Rockets came on strong to take the lead with about eight minutes to play in the first half and never looked back. Milwaukee shot just 37% from the field and gave up 13 points off turnovers. Bobby Simmons led the team with 26 points, while Jiri Welsch scored 17. Jaamal Magloire added 13 and had 15 rebounds. With the loss, the Bucks are back to being just one game above the .500 mark. They host the 26-19 Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
