bucks lead by 20 at the half. but the 2nd half was a much different story as the hawks storm back, actually taking the lead late in the 4th on kyle korver's long jumper. after the bucks take the lead momentarily, tim hardaway junior buries them when he knocks down a 3 from the wing. the bucks take a bad loss, 114-110 is the final. meanwhile in okc tonight there's a sam dekker sighting, although it doesn't look like enes kanter saw anything but the ceiling after sam throws down the monster dunk on him. the posterizing play could end up as a fox 6 blitz play of the week candidate. tune in sunday to find out and by the impressive as well mr. dekker. the bc will be a busy place tomorrow as the badgers roll in from madison to face the golden eagles in their annual match up with marquette. look for defense to play a big role as each team is looking to extend their current win streak.
