CLEVELAND (Ticker) - Don't look now, but the Milwaukee Bucks arewinning on the road, too.


Michael Redd scored 34 points to lead five players in doublefigures as the Bucks broke a seven-game losing streak to theCleveland Cavaliers, 111-107, on Tuesday.


Milwaukee, which had yet to win on the road in four triesdespite winning all four home games, finally put it togetheraway from the Bradley Center.


Charlie Villanueva poured in 17 points and Royal Ivey added 15for the Bucks.


Trailing by as many as 14 points on three occasions in the firsthalf, Milwaukee rebounded from a 53-49 halftime deficit.

Redd scored 18 of his points in the third quarter alone as theBucks outscored Cleveland by eight in the period to grab an84-80 advantage heading into the final quarter.


The lack of bench depth appeared to hinder the Cavaliers againin the second half, as the team has trailed after three quartersin each of their 11 games. Cleveland had just three healthybig players for this game and guard Larry Hughes was sidelinedwith a deep bone bruise in his left leg.


Milwaukee led by as much as 107-98 after Mo Williams hit ajumper with 2:16 remaining, but the Cavaliers trimmed thedeficit to 107-104 with nine seconds remaining as LeBron Jamesand Daniel Gibson scored all the points in that stretch.

However, Redd, Williams and Ivey hit free throws in the finalseconds to lock up the win.


James scored 34 to lead Cleveland in scoring for the 10th timein 11 games.

CLEVELAND (Ticker) - Don't look now, but the Milwaukee Bucks arewinning on the road, too.


Michael Redd scored 34 points to lead five players in doublefigures as the Bucks broke a seven-game losing streak to theCleveland Cavaliers, 111-107, on Tuesday.


Milwaukee, which had yet to win on the road in four triesdespite winning all four home games, finally put it togetheraway from the Bradley Center.


"We've been playing well at home and it was time for us totranslate what we've been doing at home and in practice to theroad," Redd said. "We got in at halftime down four and thought,'OK. We can win this game.'"


Milwaukee coach Larry Krystkowiak said being more competitiveagainst the Central Division was a point of emphasis. TheBucks' work on the offensive glass did not hurt the cause.

"Not to beat a dead horse from last year, but we were 1-15 inthe Central Division and got beat up four times playing theCavs," Krystkowiak said. "(Fifteen offensive rebounds) is a bigpoint in us winning this ballgame."


Charlie Villanueva poured in 17 points and Royal Ivey added 15for the Bucks.


"I think we're starting to jell," Villanueva said.

Trailing by as many as 14 points on three occasions in the firsthalf, Milwaukee rebounded from a 53-49 halftime deficit.

Ivey came into the game with 10 points in six appearances, andscored 11 of his points in the second quarter to help Milwaukeeclimb back into the contest.


"That's what they signed me for, to be an energy player," Iveysaid.


Redd scored 18 of his points in the third quarter alone as theBucks outscored Cleveland by eight in the period to grab an84-80 advantage heading into the final quarter.


"It just happened," said Redd of his third-quarter outburst."It flowed."


"We didn't defend, and we gave them an opportunity to get backinto the game," Cavaliers forward LeBron James said. "We knowwhat (Redd) is capable of and he showcased his talent."

The lack of bench depth appeared to hinder the Cavaliers againin the second half, as the team has trailed after three quartersin each of their 11 games. Cleveland had just three healthybig players for this game and guard Larry Hughes was sidelinedwith a deep bone bruise in his left leg.


Milwaukee led by as much as 107-98 after Mo Williams hit ajumper with 2:16 remaining, but the Cavaliers trimmed thedeficit to 107-104 with nine seconds remaining as James andDaniel Gibson scored all the points in that stretch.

However, Redd, Williams and Ivey hit free throws in the finalseconds to lock up the win.


Milwaukee's bench outscored Cleveland's reserves, 34-15.

James scored 34 to lead Cleveland in scoring for the 10th timein 11 games. The Cavaliers have dropped three of their lastfour.


"We know we're a much better team than what we are showing rightnow," Cleveland's Drew Gooden said.
