    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>It's been a dream week for <font color="#276098">Michael Redd</font> and the <font color="#618bb5">Milwaukee Bucks</font>.</p>

    Redd scored 27 points and made five late free throws to lead the Bucks over the <font color="#276098">Dallas Mavericks</font>, 97-95 on Saturday night.</p>

    <font color="#618bb5">Andrew Bogut</font> had 16 points and 14 rebounds, and <font color="#276098">Mo Williams</font> added 19 points as the Bucks won their fifth straight overall and improved to 6-0 at home.The win also snapped a three-game losing streak to Dallas.</p>

    It's been one of the best stretches for the Bucks in a long time. Tuesday, they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road, then upended the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday and now the Mavericks.</p>

    "Our team is doing a terrific job being unselfish, playing the right way and we're defending," Redd said. "That's the ultimate key."</p>

    There were 10 ties and 15 lead changes, including five in the last three minutes before the Bucks went ahead to stay with 1:26 to play.</p>

    "It was Saturday night at the fights,"' Bucks coach Larry Krystowiak said. "It was kind of like a heavyweight fight. It went 15 rounds."</p>

    Williams made two free throws after being fouled by Terry. Redd hit one after being fouled by <font color="#276098">Devin Harris</font>. Bogut put back a rebound and <font color="#276098">Yi Jianlian</font> made a free throw to put Milwaukee ahead 92-87.</p>

    After Terry hit a 3-pointer, Nowitzki fouled Redd who missed the first, but made the second throw before Terry hit from 12-feet out.</p>

    If Redd was flustered, he didn't show it as he was immediately fouled on the next possession and sank the two free throws.</div></p>

    We started well the last couple years, too. Not to temper the enthusiasim brought on by a couple of solid wins against good teams. Just saying...Hopefully this team has matured and will now do the things that lead to consistent winning. Like continuing to improve defensively. Let's go Bucks!</p>
