Utah has dropped eight straight games and is really not playing well without the services of Andrei Kirilenko. The Bucks have played well the last two games, and hopefully can cash in another very winnable game. Bucks by 10
Awesome game. Bucks pulled it out by 3. Fizer played great, and Zaza made some big plays late in the game. Redd played very good with 26 points. This is the Buck's third straight win. Hopefully they'll take this momentum into the game against Washington.

Nice. Bucks actually win again. Lets hope they keep it up. I didnt realise Jazz lost 8 straight. I thought they were doing good this year.
