Milwaukee (4-1) at La Clippers (5-2), 10:30 pm EST

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - Two of the surprise teams in the NBA meet Tuesday when the Milwaukee Bucks open a four-game road trip against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Bucks are coming off an exhilarating three-game homestand in which they took care of Miami and Indiana - two of the favorites in the Eastern Conference - and did so in dramatic fashion.

Milwaukee trailed Indiana by 14 points in the fourth quarter and was down, 101-97, in the final minute before finishing a memorable rally, capped by Maurice Williams' game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer that sealed a 103-102 triumph.

Michael Redd scored 28 points and made three free throws to pull the Bucks within 101-100 with 7.3 seconds to go. T.J. Ford added 19 points and nine assists for Milwaukee, which is off to its best start since 2001-02.

Despite a 113-108 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday, Los Angeles returns from a 2-2 road trip atop the Pacific Division.

Elton Brand scored 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the 182nd double-double of his career, eclipsing the team record he shared with Loy Vaught.

Milwaukee has lost its last five road games against Los Angeles.
