When the Bucks and Raptors consummated a four-player trade last August, it hardly made a ripple throughout the NBA.The deal consisted of players who had undistinguished pro careers: Sonny Weems and Amir Johnson, who went to the Raptors, and Roko Ukic and Carlos Delfino, who went to the Bucks. While Ukic seldom played for the Bucks before buying out his contract to play overseas, Delfino has been a key contributor for the Bucks from day one. He has started 50 games this season; only Brandon Jennings (62) and Andrew Bogut (56) having started more.Delfino is scoring a career-high 10.5 points and has given the Bucks a dangerous long distance shooter. His 95 3-pointers are second on the team to Jennings' 101. Delfino also has gotten better as the season has gone...

The sellout crowd expected to see LeBron James. Instead, rookie Brandon Jennings, sporting a new dyed red mohawk that makes him look a little like a rooster, did all the strutting. The 20-year-old point guard scored 25 points and the Milwaukee Bucks beat Cleveland 92-85 on Saturday night, with James reduced to a spectator on the bench and limping noticeably when he walked from it.

Even when he isn't putting the ball in the basket himself, Brandon Jennings knows full well he can help the Milwaukee Bucks. And gain some attention in the process. Jennings' perfect alley-oop pass from two steps across half-court led to Andrew Bogut's dunk that helped set the tone in the first quarter, and the surging Bucks went on to beat the Washington Wizards 102-74 for their eighth...

John Salmons found himself with an unexpected night off last month in New York. Not wanting to sit around the hotel like a stranded business traveler, he called a friend and went to grab a bite to eat in Times Square and watch a basketball game. Salmons' attention was divided between his Smokehouse burger and watching the Chicago Bulls, the team that told him to stay behind just hours before...

Scott Skiles said if his Bucks play like they did Wednesday night again on Friday, they'll lose the rematch with the Wizards. After Washington's performance, it's hard to tell if the coach's assessment could come true. John Salmons scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half and the Bucks continued their post-All-Star break surge with a 100-87 victory over the Wizards on Wednesday...

With or without Dwyane Wade, the Miami Heat are no match for the Milwaukee Bucks this season. The Bucks drubbed Wade's supporting cast for their sixth consecutive victory Saturday, beating the Heat 94-71. Milwaukee is 3-0 this year against Miami, winning by a total of 50 points. The Bucks are assured of taking the season series for the first time in seven years.

Australian center Andrew Bogut had no idea when the Milwaukee Bucks had an even win-loss record this late in the NBA season. He is quite sure that this is the best the Bucks have played this season. Bogut had 26 points and 13 rebounds to continue his string of dominant performances, leading Milwaukee to a 115-95 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday.
