Milwaukee (37-36) at Miami (48-25) 7:30 pm EDT
MIAMI (Ticker) -- This is no time for the Miami Heat to be
going into a slump.
The Heat try to avoid their first three-game losing streak since
early December on Tuesday when they take the court against the
Milwaukee Bucks.
Miami sits 3 1/2 games ahead of New Jersey for the second seed
in the Eastern Conference despite consecutive losses to the
Cleveland Cavaliers and the Nets.
In Sunday's 90-78 loss to New Jersey, Dwyane Wade scored 32
points and fellow All-Star Shaquille O'Neal returned from a
two-game absence (knee) to score nine of his 18 points in the
fourth quarter.
However, the Heat shot only 41 percent (31-of-75) from the field
and made just 2-of-12 3-pointers to move within one loss of
their first three-game skid since December 3-9.
Milwaukee, which leads Indiana by 1 1/2 games for sixth place in
the East, is coming off a 96-89 triumph over the Pacers on
Saturday.
Michael Redd scored 39 points and rookie Andrew Bogut added 15
for the Bucks, who have won three of their last four games.
