This is the fourth edition of the Brew City Bucks Report.
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Toronto Raptors 112-85 tuesday night at the Bradley Center.
Leading the way was Desmond Mason, who made all ten of his shots attempted on his way to scoring 21 points.
The majority of the shots he took actually happened to be jump hooks from up to 16 feet away, which he surprisingly swished just about everytime he took the shot.
Mason was resigned by the Bucks in the offseason after being traded away before the 2005-06 season. Before he was traded, Mason was one of my favorite players and he seemed to have at least one or two huge dunks a game that would ignite the crowd. So far this season he has done everything asked of him and seems to have developed a somewhat reliable shot, albeit irregular.
Michael Redd also had a very good game in scoring 17 points, along with seven rebounds and six assists, including three of six on three-point shots. Mo Williams also finally found his stroke, making six of his seven shots from the field. Most of the shots he took were on designed plays it seemed but he still isn't penetrating the defense very often, and when he does penetrate, he seems to force a shot himself rather than pass the ball.
Both Andrew Bogut and Yi Jianlian scored 12 points each for the Bucks along with providing a defensive presence in limiting all-star forward Chris Bosh to only one point, while Yi also blocked three shots.
Milwaukee led for almost the entire game, and shot 47 of 78 (60.3%) on their way towards winning their second game of the season. Bucks Head Coach Larry Krystkowiak was also not in attendence as he was with his wife who was in labor.
Up next for the Bucks is the much inticipated game against the Houston Rockets this Friday that will mark Yi's first NBA game against Yao Ming.
