Game thread, Bucks vs Heat, March 25. 20008, Miami, 6:30
Quote:
I thought the Bucks would have beaten them last week, but didn't, then went and beat the Cavs. Go figure.
Teams: Milwaukee Bucks (24-44) vs. Miami Heat (12-57).
When: 6:30 tonight.
Where: AmericanAirlines Arena, Miami.
Broadcasts: TV - FSN Wisconsin cable. Radio - AM-620.
About the Heat: After beating the Bucks to end an eight-game losing streak last week, Miami went back to its losing ways. The Heat was held to a franchise-low 54 points in a loss to Toronto on Wednesday, and then lost on consecutive nights to Washington and Charlotte. Jason Williams scored 19 points and Ricky Davis 15 against the Bobcats on Saturday night in a 94-82 Heat defeat.
PLAYER TO WATCH
DAEQUAN COOK, Heat
The rookie from Ohio State matched up against another Buckeye, Michael Redd, in the game last week. Cook had 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting in 28 minutes, and Redd finished with 27 points. Cook played in three games with Miami's NBA Development League affiliate, the Iowa Energy, before being recalled on March 8.
