The Milwaukee Bucks will try to snap a three-game losing streak Wednesday night when they visit the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Bucks have lost three in a row, including a pair of losses to the Atlanta Hawks and a setback to the Indiana Pacers. Milwaukee has dropped three in a row on the road as well.
This type of play doesn't bode well for a team that is headed to the playoffs. The Bucks haven't clinched a postseason berth yet, but they are not in a desperate situation. Milwaukee is 7 1/2 games ahead of the Sixers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Against the Hawks in Milwaukee on Sunday, the Bucks lost the fourth quarter, 30-25, and that proved to be the final margin as Milwaukee fell, 104-99.
"Our guys battled, played hard, had a lot of good effort from people," said interim head coach Jim Boylan.
