Driving through
Bucks avoid letdown, run winning streak to six games
Memphis - The beat goes on for the Milwaukee Bucks.
This one had warning signals written all over it. The Bucks were on the road against a team with the worst record in the NBA one night after an exhilarating victory in San Antonio.
But the Bucks ignored the pitfalls, played a solid game pretty much throughout and extended their winning streak to six games with a 112-96 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night at the FedEx Forum.
The Bucks were quite conscious of the potential for a letdown.
"It's human nature," coach Terry Stotts said. "For the most part we guarded against it. We didn't play as well as we did (Tuesday) night in San Antonio or with the urgency but still, I'm proud of the way we played." The Bucks' winning streak is a season-high and improved their record to 15-14. They are above the .500 mark for the first time since Nov. 4 when they beat Sacramento to go to 2-1. Milwaukee has also won seven straight against the West and is 10-4 against that conference.
