*Bucks try to sweep four-game season series from 76ers*
-------------------------------------------------------
Philadelphia (26-27) at Milwaukee (27-27) 8:30 pm EST
MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia 76ers hope that the
Milwaukee Bucks' dominance over them stops here.
The Sixers will try to avoid being swept by the Bucks on Friday
when the teams meet for the fourth time this season.
Philadelphia, which won five straight meetings against Milwaukee
prior to this season, dropped a heartbreaker to the Bucks on
Opening Night and fell to them twice more over the next two
months. All-Star Allen Iverson is averaging 34.3 points against
the Bucks this season, but managed only 23 points in the last
meeting - an 88-85 loss on December 7.
The 76ers allowed at least 100 points for the fifth straight
game Wednesday, but Iverson scored 29 points and dished out 12
assists to fuel a 116-107 triumph over Cleveland.
Andre Iguodala contributed 25 points and Chris Webber 24 and 14
rebounds for Philadelphia, which has won two of its last three
games since losing five of six.
Milwaukee matched its season high of three straight losses with
Wednesday's 97-91 defeat at the hands of Chicago.
Michael Redd scored 30 points but made just 12-of-34 shots and
Charlie Bell added a career-best 15 points off the bench for the
Bucks, who have not dropped four straight games since April
9-15 of last season.
