BUCK SHOTS
The Bucks have won three of their last four games at the Bradley Center and have limited their opponents to 92.5 points on 42.1 percent shooting over that stretch.
Luke Ridnour tallied his 3,500th career point in the third quarter of Wednesday’s game at Golden State. Ridnour hit the milestone when he knocked down a 22-foot jumper at the 4:43 mark in the quarter.
The Bucks lost the battle on second chance points for the first time in December against the Warriors on Wednesday. For the month they’re getting 20.0 points per game on second chances while limiting their foes to 12.8. That tops their season average of 15.7.
Milwaukee has shot better than 40.0 percent from three each of their last two games and are 12-28 (42.9) in that stretch. Richard Jefferson (4-9) and Charlie Villanueva (3-5) have combined to go 7-14 (50.0 percent).
Six Bucks players average double-figures at home against the Eastern Conference this season: Michael Redd (19.3, 4 games), Richard Jefferson (18.3, 7), Luke Ridnour (14.8, 6), Charlie Villanueva (13.2, 6), Andrew Bogut (12.2, 6) and Ramon Sessions (12.0, 7).
At the end of this string of six games out of seven on the road (currently 0-3), the Bucks will have played 18 of their first 28 games on the road. This is the first time in franchise history they’ve played as many as 18 out of their first 28 on the road. They’re the only team in the NBA to have that heavy of a road schedule through 28 games this year.
