MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- Michael Redd and the Milwaukee Bucks gotback to their winning ways at the Bradley Center.


Redd scored 27 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and handed out nineassists as the Bucks posted a 100-86 victory over the OrlandoMagic on Wednesday.


Rookie Yi Jianlian scored 18 points and Mo Williams had 17 andseven assists for Milwaukee, which snapped a four-game losingstreak. The Bucks also ended a two-game slide here afterbeginning 2007-08 with six straight victories at home.

"We played like we were glad to be home," Redd said. "At theend of the day, I'll take the win over the triple-double anyday."


The Magic have lost three straight games for the first time thisseason and four of their last six after losing just three oftheir first 17.


"If our intensity and defensive mentality doesn't improve, thenwe're going to have to make a change," Magic coach Stan VanGundy said. "Some of these guys have gotten very comfortable inthe starting lineup."


Milwaukee, which led by 12 after one quarter, 13 at halftime and14 entering the final period, nearly blew its double-digitadvantage.


In the fourth quarter, the Magic opened with four straight3-pointers, including three from Rashard Lewis, to cut theirdeficit to two at 75-73. The Bucks went cold from the field anddidn't score until Andrew Bogut slammed home an assist byWilliams with 7:53 remaining in the game.


"They kept coming back, but we kept our composure and made theplays to win the game," Williams said. "This was a big winagainst a quality team."


Redd, who shot 9-of-17 from the floor and earned his firstdouble-double since November 24, 2004, made a 3-pointer with5:26 left to give Milwaukee an 84-75 lead.


"I wasn't even worried about scoring tonight because I knew thatwould come," Redd said. "I was worried about making guysbetter. I was just tired of losing."


The All-Star made a jumper to give the Bucks a 91-83 advantagewith 3:17 remaining and his two free throws with 55 ticks on theclock pushed the lead to 97-83.


"We gave them a lot of easy shots," said Magic guard JameerNelson, who finished with four points and seven assists. "Itwas a horrendous effort on the defensive end for us. "We didn'tstick to our principles on defense."


Milwaukee had jumped out to an early lead thanks to a 17-6 runin the first quarter, stretching its advantage to 30-18. Yispurred the burst with 10 first-quarter points.


"We've lost several games lately in the first quarter," VanGundy said. "We're going to have to start winning some games byout-working people."


Redd added nine in the second period as Milwaukee led by as manyas 16 before halftime.


Charlie Bell scored 13 points off the bench and Bogut had 11 andnine boards while defending Dwight Howard for most of the nightfor the Bucks, who shot 50 percent (35-of-70).


"(Dwight's) one of the strongest guys in the NBA, it was toughto keep him from getting position," Bogut said. "However, weshowed some character. Hopefully, we can build on this goingforward."


Howard had 20 points and 13 boards for his league-leading 19thdouble-double and Lewis added 20 points for Orlando, which shota season-low 34 percent (26-of-77).
