LEAP OF FAITH – The Bucks might be looking up at the Celtics in the standings, but they can feel pretty confident about tonight's rare Leap Day game. The Bucks are 4-1 all-time on Feb. 29, including a 126-117 (OT) win over the Lakers in the only road Leap Day game in club history (2/29/80). Milwaukee's last Feb. 29 game came during the 2003-04 season, when the Bucks edged the Heat 108-104.

TRIPLE-DOUBLE-DOUBLE – Milwaukee hasn't had a triple-double yet this season, but the Bucks had threedifferent players post double-doubles in last night's win over the Wizards. Ersan Ilyasova (13 points/11 rebounds), Drew Gooden (15 points/10 rebounds) and Brandon Jennings (14 points/10 assists) all accomplished the feat. The Bucks last had three players post double-doubles on 3/20/11, when Carlos Delfino, Andrew Bogut and Jennings all did so in a 100-95 win over the Knicks.

STICKY FINGERS – The Bucks forced the Wizards into 15 turnovers last night – the seventh time in the last nine games that their opponent has had 15+ miscues. Milwaukee has consistently ranked among the best in the NBA this season in opponent turnovers per game, forcing 16.06 miscues/game (5th in league). After forcing their opponent to cough up the ball, the Bucks don't waste the possession, averaging 18.38 points per game off turnovers, which is 4th in the NBA.
