*Bucks carry six-game road losing streak into Chicago*
------------------------------------------------------
Milwaukee (27-26) at Chicago (23-29) 9:00 pm EST
CHICAGO (Ticker) -- While the Milwaukee Bucks are playing better
defense of late, it still has not translated into road victories.
The Bucks will try to snap a six-game road losing streak
Wednesday when they take on the Chicago Bulls, who are starting
to take advantage of their own home court.
Milwaukee, which has dropped 12 of its last 15 away from the
Bradley Center, has not won on the road since January 20 at
Atlanta. One of the Bucks' 10 road wins came here on January 2
as Michael Redd scored 17 of his 29 points in the third quarter
of the 93-92 victory.
The Bucks held an opponent under 95 points for the
franchise-record 12th straight game Tuesday, but still dropped a
89-85 decision to New Jersey. Bobby Simmons and Redd each
scored 18 points for Milwaukee, which has lost three of its last
four games.
Chicago has gone 3-1 in its last four home contests after
starting the season just 8-13 here.
The Bulls are coming off a thorough 117-84 pounding of
Philadelphia on Thursday behind 21 points from Ben Gordon and 18
from Kirk Hinrich. Andres Nocioni and Malik Allen contributed
16 points apiece for Chicago, which had dropped six of its
previous eight games.
