Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Michael Redd scored 27 points and rookie Yi Jianlian added 16 to help the Bucks beat the Bulls, 78-72, tonight for their first victory of the season.With the win, Milwaukee snapped a 15-game losing streak to Central Division opponents dating to last season, and kept the Bulls winless through the first week of the season.
Hounded by defensive lapses in their first two games, the Bucks held the Bulls in check. It was a miserable night for Chicago's starters. Ben Gordon scored 15, but the rest of the starting five — Luol Deng, Tyrus Thomas, Ben Wallace and Kirk Hinrich — were held to single digits.
