Bucks, Wolves clash at Bradley Center
Basketball Betting Lines
01/23/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Midwest rivals clash in Brew City Saturday night as the
Milwaukee Bucks play host to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Bucks failed to finish off a home-and-home sweep of Toronto last night as
Jarrett Jack made 7-of-9 shots from the field on his way to a season-high 27
points, as the Raptors used a late surge to take down Milwaukee, 101-96, at
Air Canada Centre.
Luke Ridnour had a season-high 27 points for the Bucks, who have lost six of
their last eight contests. Andrew Bogut finished with 22 points and six
rebounds. Brandon Jennings chipped in 14 points in defeat.
"It seems like we have had a lot of close games this year and we just can't
win. We have to get control of games and not let them get away," Ridnour said.
The Wolves, meanwhile, are coming off a tough loss of their own last night, a
96-94 setback to New Orleans.
James Posey played the hero again, sinking the winning layup as time expired
in that one to lift the Hornets to the victory.
Minnesota's Jonny Flynn converted a three-point play with 3.5 seconds left to
tie the contest before New Orleans called a timeout. Posey got the ball on the
inbound on the right side of the court, near the three-point line, and faked a
handoff to point guard Chris Paul, who drew two defenders.
Suddenly free, Posey spun toward the basket and put up his attempt with time
still on the clock, and the ball dropped through as the buzzer sounded to give
the Hornets the win.
Posey's play came just two days after he made a layup with 1.1 seconds to go
to lift the Hornets to a 113-111 win over Memphis. It also came more than a
month after New Orleans beat Minnesota in a strikingly similar way, as Paul
scored the go-ahead basket with 1.4 seconds left to give the Hornets a 97-96
victory on December 9.
"Definitely a tough loss, losing at the buzzer like that," Flynn said.
"Especially to them twice. Exact same play they ran, exact same thing
happened."
Flynn had 20 points, while Al Jefferson ended with 25 points and 13 rebounds
for Minnesota, which is a Western Conference-worst 9-35 on the season.
The Bucks snapped a three-game skid to the Wolves with a 87-72 rout in
Minneapolis earlier this season.
