Bucks-Kings Preview

Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings are carrying the Milwaukee Bucks toward a rare playoff appearance.

Sacramento Kings coach Keith Smart knows it's going to be a challenge to slow the Bucks' talented backcourt on Sunday night in the California capital.

Since the Bucks (31-29) dropped nine of 11, Ellis is averaging 25.7 points during a 5-1 run. He had 26 points, five rebounds and five assists in Saturday's 103-93 win over Golden State.

"Monta has been playing at this level for quite a while now," said coach Jim Boylan, whose team is 1-1 on a trip that ends Sunday. "He's really taken off."

The same could be said of Jennings, who hit a season-best six 3-pointers and finished with 31 points and 10 assists on Saturday, and now has a career-best four consecutive double-doubles. The point guard is averaging 20.0 points and 14.5 assists during that run and has helped Milwaukee build an 8 1/2-game lead over Toronto for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Bucks, who have been to the playoffs once since 2006, are going for their first season sweep of the Kings (22-42) since 2008-09 after defeating them 98-85 on Dec. 12 behind Ellis' 17 points and 11 assists and Jennings' 19 points.

"They have two very, very talented small players who can create a lot of problems and you have to be aware of where you need to be as far as help (and) where you need to be in your pick-and-roll coverage," Smart told the Kings' official website. "Plus, they can shoot the long-range shot, which makes it a little bit difficult because they can spread the floor."

The addition of J.J. Redick from Orlando last month has made it even more challenging for opposing defenses. The veteran sharpshooter hit two 3s and scored eight of his 15 in the fourth quarter on Saturday.

The Kings also have a number long-range threats. Over the last six games, Marcus Thornton is averaging a team-best 23.3 points on 25 of 52 from beyond the arc, John Salmons is 17 of 37, Tyreke Evans has hit 10 of 22 3-point attempts and point guard Isaiah Thomas has converted half of his 26 3-point tries.

Sacramento is averaging 113.1 points and 27.3 assists during this stretch after handing out 32 in Friday's 121-112 victory over Phoenix. The Kings also had four players (Thomas, Evans, Thornton and DeMarcus Cousins) score more than 20 for the first time since a 129-122 home loss to Milwaukee on Jan. 16, 2009.

"What's been working is us playing unselfishly, making the next pass and also getting guys just shooting it with confidence and knocking it down," Thomas said after the team hit 13 of 27 3s and shot 54.9 percent overall.

That didn't happen Dec. 12 when the Kings missed 16 of 19 3-pointers and converted 37.2 percent from the field. Sacramento, though, was without Cousins (suspended) and Thornton (personal reasons) for that matchup.

Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova is listed as day-to-day after missing Saturday's game with a left knee injury suffered on Wednesday. He scored 16 points and grabbed 14 boards the last time these teams played.

The Bucks are 3-1 outside Milwaukee since a season-worst four-game road losing streak.

The Kings have won three straight and seven of eight at home against the East. They snapped a three-game home skid to the Bucks last Jan. 5, winning 103-100.

Ellis leads Bucks past Kings, 115-113

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) After taking a vicious elbow to the head from Kings center DeMarcus Cousins, the Bucks' Mike Dunleavy got the best revenge - using his hot shooting hand to help his team win.

Monta Ellis had 29 points and nine assists, Dunleavy scored 14 of his 16 points after being hit, and Milwaukee held off Sacramento for a 115-113 win on Sunday night.

Defeating the Kings, who rallied from a 15-point deficit in the final four minutes, pleased Dunleavy. But so did answering Cousins' talk and physical confrontation by making four 3-pointers after Cousins was ejected at the 3:26 mark of the third quarter following a flagrant 2 foul.

"I'm not going to begin to try and reason with someone like that," Dunleavy said. "I'm not even sure what I did, I thought I was just blocking him out."

The temperamental Cousins thought otherwise. After Dunleavy stepped in front of Cousins in a somewhat crouched position, he was confronted by the Kings center after play was stopped. Both Cousins and Dunleavy were called for technical fouls.

But that wasn't the end of it. Following a timeout, the Bucks were running a play and Dunleavy wound up under the Kings basket, behind Cousins, who swung an elbow that hit Dunleavy's head. Cousins was called for the flagrant foul and ejected from the game for the fourth time this season.

"He confronted me after the timeout; he got in my face," Dunleavy said. "In those situations, you've got to be ready. I felt like something was probably going to happen. He is always talking."

The retaliation came, but Dunleavy got his revenge. He scored five points in the third quarter following the ejection, then hit a pair of threes and scored nine points in the fourth, helping Milwaukee build a 15-point lead.

"Something like that gets you going," Dunleavy said. "I was able to knock down a couple of shots after that. It was a crazy game all things considered. We were fortunate to get out of here with a win."

It was the 12th technical this year for Cousins, who was having a great game before to the incident. He had 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Kings, who lost for the third time in four games.

"You've got to be smarter knowing when you get into an altercation with somebody the refs and everybody in the arena is going to be looking at you for the next few plays," Kings guard Isaiah Thomas said. "When things like this happen we say `just calm down.' But he wears his emotions on his sleeve. He just has to be smarter."

The Bucks won their second straight game and sixth in seven contests. Before the current streak, Milwaukee had dropped nine of 11 games.

Brandon Jennings had 16 points and eight assists for the Bucks, Gustavo Ayon scored 12 points, and Ekpe Udoh and Samuel Dalembert had 10 apiece.

The Bucks, who played Saturday night at Golden State, played without starting center Larry Sanders, who was injured against the Warriors. Milwaukee also was without two key reserves, forward Ersan Ilyasova and guard JJ Redick, who expects to play Tuesday.

Ellis had 10 fourth-quarter points for the Bucks, who were outscored 33-30 in the period.

"Our bench did a great job for us," Ellis said. "Every team is going to make runs and they made one at the end. But we held them off. It was an ugly win, but we'll take it."

Tyreke Evans had 20 points and Jason Thompson had 18 points and eight rebounds. Thomas had 14 points and nine assists. Sacramento outscored the Bucks 22-9 in the final 3:48 of the game.

"I thought that these guys rallied and put themselves right there in a position to win or tie the game," Kings coach Keith Smart said.

Protecting a one-point lead, Jennings was fouled on purpose and converted both free throws for a 113-110 lead. After Evans scored again, Ellis hit a pair of free throws for a three-point lead.

Jimmer Fredette made the first free throw with 4.7 seconds remaining and intentionally missed the second, and the ball came right back to him. Evans got the ball in a wild final few seconds, and missed an off-balance 3 with a second left.

"Great play by him (Fredette) at the end," Milwaukee coach Jim Boylan said. "We knew he was going to miss, but to be that accurate with the miss and hit the front of the rim and have it come right back to him in no time. It looked like the Globetrotter play, with the fake free throw and the ball coming back so fast."

Trailing by 10 points, Fredette made a pair of jumpers and later converted on a three-point play to pull the Kings within 111-106.

Evans made a put-back and a twisting shot from close range to cut the Milwaukee lead to one point with 23 seconds left.

Minus two key post players, the Bucks had no answer defensively against Cousins, who made 10 of 12 shots and all four free throws in 29 minutes.

Dunleavy made a pair of 3s early in the fourth quarter, and another one by Jennings put Milwaukee ahead 98-87 at the midway point in the quarter.

Despite the loss of Cousins, the Kings were able to outscore the Bucks 30-24 in the third quarter, cutting the lead to 85-80. Thompson had 10 points and Thomas had nine. Following Cousins' ejection, Sacramento closed the quarter with a 13-8 burst.

Ellis had 13 points and six assists and Ayon contributed 12 points and seven rebounds for Milwaukee, which took a 61-50 halftime lead. The Bucks pulled away in the first four minutes of the second quarter when they produced a 16-1 run sparked by Ayon's eight points.

Cousins scored 20 points and Evans had 12 in the opening half for the Kings.

NOTES: Evans made his first 3-point attempt in the opening quarter. A poor 3-point shooter throughout his three-year career, Evans entered the game making 10 of his last 22 3s. ... The Milwaukee reserves outscored the Kings reserves, 25-9, in the first half. ... Cousins made 6 of 7 shots and scored 14 first-quarter points and Evans added nine, helping the Kings to a 29-26 lead.

Notebook: Bucks 115, Kings 113

James Ham, for NBA.com
Posted Mon Mar 11, 2013 1:46 AM - Updated Mon Mar 11, 2013 1:46 AM

THE FACTS: After a solid victory over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, the Sacramento Kings fought hard on their home floor, but came up short, losing to the Milwaukee Bucks by the final of 115-113.

Monta Ellis led the Bucks (32-29) with 29 points and nine assists in 42 minutes of action. Mike Dunleavy did two things really well -- he was able to get in the head of DeMarcus Cousins and he scored 16 points on 4-for-7 shooting from 3-point range. Gustavo Ayon gave coach Jim Boylan a strong showing off the Bucks bench, scoring 12 points and grabbing seven rebounds in just 14 minutes of play.

Cousins led the way for the Kings (22-43), scoring 24 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, but hit the showers in the third quarter after getting ejected from the game. Jason Thompson picked up the slack in the post, scoring 14 of his 18 points in the second half. And Jimmer Fredette went nuts in the fourth quarter, scoring 11 of his 14 points in just four minutes while attempting to bring the Kings back in this one.

QUOTABLE: "I got you."

-- An agitated Cousins to Dunleavy moments before he picked up a flagrant two for coming high with an elbow and was ejected from the game

THE STAT: Cousins picked up his 12th technical foul and third flagrant two of the season.

TURNING POINT: With a little over three minutes remaining in the third quarter and the Kings trailing 75-67, Cousins took exception to what he clearly felt was a dirty play by Milwaukee's Dunleavy. After a timeout, Cousins approached Dunleavy, the two exchanged words and a double-technical was called. When the ball was put back in play, Cousins retaliated with a blow to Dunleavy's head, which resulted in a flagrant two and an ejection. The Kings responded with a big push, but came up short in the end.

QUOTABLE II: "You can give a person as much advice as you can, from us, to coaches, to Hall of Famers, to whatever, but at the end of the day, you're in this league because you are a grown man and you're going to do what you want to do."

-- Jason Thompson on the continuing issues with Cousins

HOT: Cousins was a wrecking ball in his 29 minutes of action, scoring 24 points on 10-for-12 shooting and grabbing 10 rebounds for the Kings. The only one who could stop Cousins was himself.

NOT: Ellis led the Bucks with 29 points, but defined the term "volume shooter," finishing just 9-for-24 from the floor.

BAD MOVE: Two and a half seasons into his career and Cousins still hasn't learned to control his temper, costing his team when he was ejected in the third quarter.

NOTABLE: Bucks owner Herb Kohl is accompanying his team on their West Coast road trip and was seated behind Milwaukee's bench.

UP NEXT: For the Bucks, Tuesday vs. Dallas, Wednesday @ Washington, Friday vs. Miami. For the Kings, Wednesday vs. Chicago, Sunday @ L.A. Lakers, Mar. 19 vs. L.A. Clippers.
