PLAYER OF THE GAME: Backup guard Royal Ivey isn't known as a scorer but he did lead a second-quarter Bucks rally by scoring 11 of his 15 points, turning up the energy and playing some defense. "That's what they signed me for," Ivey said. "To be an energy player and I feel comfortable doing that." Said Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak, "I know I wouldn't want him guarding me."
PLAY OF THE GAME: Guard Michael Redd sank a three-pointer with 7 minutes 30 seconds left in the third quarter and drew a foul on Cleveland's Daniel Gibson in the process. He made the free throw for a four-point play that tied the score, 63-63.
STATISTICS SHEET: The Bucks held a 42-40 edge on the glass against the top rebounding team in the league. Charlie Villanueva led the Bucks with nine rebounds. The Bucks had 15 offensive rebounds. "That was the thing on the top of our list," Krystkowiak said. "The last couple days we'd been talking about they'd been beating up a lot of people on the glass. We were hoping to stay close. . . . That's a big point in us winning this ball game."
OFF THE BENCH: Villanueva continues to give the Bucks good playing time in a reserve role and once again played the entire fourth quarter. "He may be better coming off the bench, I'm not sure," Krystkowiak said. "He sure is soaking it up right now."
