The Golden State Warriors have yet to beat an Eastern Conference opponent at home, but that could be because of the caliber of competition they have faced.

The Warriors try for their first home win over a team from the East when they meet the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.

Golden State (9-8) is 0-3 in home games against Eastern foes, losing to Cleveland, Detroit and Orlando - teams with a combined record of 37-19. The Warriors had an overall six-game winning streak snapped with a 123-117 overtime loss at home to the Southeast Division-leading Magic on Monday.

"I thought it was a great game," Golden State coach Don Nelson said. "We certainly had a chance to win, put ourselves in a position to win. We were right there but we didn't. ... This is one of the best teams we've played."

Stephen Jackson led Golden State with 25 points on a day he was named Western Conference player of the week. Jackson, however, is in a bit of a shooting slump, connecting on just 35.6 percent (21 of 59) of his shots from the field over his last three games.

Warriors guard Monta Ellis has been stellar since being re-inserted into the starting lineup on Nov. 26 in a 129-114 victory over Phoenix. Ellis is averaging 22.2 points and shooting above 54 percent from the field while starting the last five games.

Golden State lost two high-scoring games to Milwaukee last season, allowing the Bucks to hit a total of 23 3-pointers and score an average of 118 points. Bucks forward Charlie Bell, who has scored in double figures just once this season, made a total of eight 3-pointers in those meetings while averaging 24 points.

This game also marks the only visit to the Bay Area this season by Milwaukee rookie Yi Jianlian. Yi's handlers reportedly wanted him to play in the California region because of its large Chinese influence.

The Bucks (8-8) halted their four-game losing streak Tuesday with an 87-78 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Michael Redd scored 10 of his 25 points in the final 3:36 for Milwaukee, which rallied after trailing by as many as 15 points.

"I'm a competitor, and I know my responsibility is to get the ball and make things happen at the end of the game," Redd said. "I love that challenge. Tonight was special because we won on the road and came back from a large deficit."

Milwaukee limited Los Angeles to 38.7 percent shooting, marking just the second time this season it has held an opponent below the 40-percent mark. Andrew Bogut had 19 points and 12 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the season.

The Bucks opened a five-game West Coast road trip with only their second victory in eight games away from home. They also visit Seattle, Portland and Sacramento in this stretch of five games in seven days.
