Milwaukee (29-31) at Boston (26-35) 7:30 pm EST
BOSTON (Ticker) -- Michael Redd and the Milwaukee Bucks look to
end their recent slide when they visit red-hot Paul Pierce and
the Boston Celtics on Friday.
Since rolling to a 106-91 triumph over the Seattle SuperSonics
on February 14, the Bucks have dropped seven of their last nine
to fall to eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Milwaukee enters Friday's contest with a 2 1/2-game lead over
ninth-place Chicago (27-34) in the conference standings. The
Bucks hope to add to that cushion and bounce back from
Wednesday's 123-116 loss to Sacramento.
Redd scored 32 points and T.J. Ford addd 24 and 12 assists for
Milwaukee, which has dropped three straight.
Boston hopes to carry some momentum from Wednesday's crucial
104-101 victory over Philadelphia.
Pierce had 31 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to register his
first triple-double of the campaign while rookie Ryan Gomes
chipped in 29 and 11 boards for the Celtics, who have won eight
of their last 12.
Pierce has been outstanding of late, scoring at least 30 points
in a franchise-record seven consecutive games. After averaging
a league-best 33.5 points during the month of February, Pierce
has scored 32.8 points per game in March.
