An injury-riddled Bucks squad and lottery-bound Kings team served up plenty of excitement on Sunday night, as the Bucks were forced to sweat out a furious Kings comeback despite the ejection of DeMarcus Cousins.
In a game that featured a DeMarcus Cousins ejection another near-collapse from Milwaukee, the Bucks overcame the absences of Larry Sanders, J.J. Redick and Ersan Ilyasova to hang on for a nervy road win over a plucky Sacramento Kings team.
Jimmer Fredette and Cole Aldrich sparked a comeback attempt in the final minutes, but Tyreke's three point attempt to try to win at the buzzer was short. DeMarcus Cousins was ejected in the third quarter for elbowing Mike Dunleavy.
DeMarcus Cousins was ejected from the Kings' game versus the Bucks in the 3rd quarter for deliberately elbowing Mike Dunleavy in the back of the head. Cousins was upset with a low blow by Dunleavy on a previous possession.
Bucks forward Luc Mbah a Moute went to the locker room with left foot pain in the first half of Milwaukee's game against Sacramento, but was able to return to the lineup in the second half.
The Bucks will be seriously shorthanded when they visit the Kings tonight, with Larry Sanders and J.J. Redick joining Ersan Ilyasova among the Bucks' injured players.
Brandon Jennings has been spectacular in his last four games, and on Sunday night he and Bucks will try for their sixth win in the past seven games.
