With a bizarre and gross starting lineup and weird rotations, the Kings were unable to compete with the Bucks over 48 minutes on Wednesday.
The Milwaukee Bucks weathered an early storm of ineffectiveness against the Sacramento Kings to extend their winning streak to three games. It wasn't pretty, but a sloppy win is always better than the alternative.
The Bucks have had trouble with the Kings recently, but had little trouble dispatching them tonight in a battle of injury-riddle teams. Monta Ellis' near triple-double led the way for Milwaukee.
Sacramento got behind early and spent the entire game playing catch-up to Milwaukee. The Bucks proved to be the more resilient team.
The Kings got a road win earlier this week. Next goal: beat a decent team away from Sacramento.
