Both teams are struggling lately. I think the Bucks break out of their slump with a home victory. KG will do his thing, but you can contain Wally and the rest of the Wolves, we should win.

Solid win for the Bucks tonight, 95-92. We played some better defense, even if the percentages don't agree lol. We forced them into 18 turnovers, and a few of them were at key moments. I was also happy that we tried to get Magloire involved against Minnesota's Olowakandi and undersized Griffin. The results? 6/11 FGs and 15 points. We need to get him the ball more often. If we could get him 8-10 shots a night, we'd really have a major post presence. Also, how 'bout Toni Kukoc? 14 pts, 4/4 3FG. This guy has been just awesome for us this year.

Mo Williams missed the game with plantar fascitis in his foot. Not sure how long he will be out, but can we ever be all healthy at once? Jermaine Jackson had a nice game with 8 pts 5 assists filling in for Mo. Kukoc was the X factor with 14 off the bench. Jamaal Magloire did an excellent job playing D on KG. He also had a nice offensive game. GMans MVP: Jamaal Magloire NEW RECORDS Bucks 18-14 TWolves 15-17 Next Games Bucks @ Indiana Wednesday TWolves vs Chicago Wednesday
