Wild Wild West

The Bucks lose a heart-breaker to NO/OKC Hornets 93-94 last night. A last second shot by David West won the game for the home team. I said yesterday that the Bucks had to control West's performance, but he ended up with 24 pts and 15 reb. He and PJ Brown (12 rbs) controlled the boards and the Bucks had no answer for Speedy Claxton (19 pts). Redd dropped 32 pts and the starters all had good games, however the bench contributed virtually nothing and that was the key. The bench shot 2-12 (16.7%) and had 7 pts, and it was obvious that Mo Williams is the big key off the bench and he was sorely needed last night. But with him out for a couple more games with a sprained ankle, the other guys have to step up. The up and down season for the Bucks continues.
