Bucks: Redd's late rush rescues Milwaukee
Associated Press
608-252-6170
LOS ANGELES — Michael Redd scored 10 of his 25 points in the final 3 minutes, 36 seconds, Andrew Bogut had 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Milwaukee Bucks rallied from a 15-point second-quarter deficit to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 87-78 Tuesday night.

No one else scored in double figures for the Bucks, who snapped a four-game losing streak.

Milwaukee had lost its previous five meetings against Los Angeles and seven straight at Staples Center.

Corey Maggette scored 20 points and Chris Kaman added 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Clippers, who were buried by 14-4 run down the stretch after Tim Thomas' 3-pointer gave them their last lead at 74-73 with 4 minutes left.

Redd fueled the Bucks' late rally with a pair of 3-pointers and two driving layups.

The Clippers' sixth straight loss matched their longest skid of last season.

The last time they lost more than six straight was in February 2005, when they dropped eight straight — all on the road.

Major injuries to Elton Brand and Shawn Livingston — both of whom will be sidelined for more than half the season — have caught up to the Clippers. After a 4-0 start, they have lost 10 of 12.

Several players in coach Mike Dunleavy's regular rotation are playing hurt, and only four of them — Kaman, Thomas, Quinton Ross and Ruben Patterson — have played in all 16 games.

Brand and Livingston were healthy the last time the Bucks played the Clippers in Los Angeles back on Jan. 23 and lost 115-96.

On that occasion, Redd was sidelined with a strained left patellar tendon, Mo Williams and Charlie Villanueva were out with shoulder ailments, and former Clipper Bobby Simmons was already done for the season after undergoing surgery on his right heel.
