NBA
Regular Season Round 154: Brooklyn N. - Milwaukee B. 73-96
Date: April 12, 2015
Ersan Ilyasova scored 21 points and the Milwaukee Bucks clinched a playoff spot with a 96-73 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. Milwaukee also secured the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, a year after a franchise-worst 67-loss season. O.J. Mayo added 17 points for the Bucks. Brook Lopez had his 17th double-double of the season with 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Nets. They are eighth in the East, a game behind Boston after the Celtics' victory Sunday over Cleveland. That race will be sorted out over the final few days of the season, with Indiana also bearing down on the Nets and Celtics. No need to fret any more for the Bucks, who will likely face either Toronto or Chicago in the first round. Few - if any - NBA observers expected the Bucks to make the playoffs, let alone be competitive enough to finish with a .500 record. Not with a first-year coach in Jason Kidd and a young roster. Jabari Parker, the second overall pick in the NBA draft last June, was lost for the season in December with a left knee injury. The Bucks went on a tailspin after the All Star break and trade deadline as they adjusted to the departure of leading scorer Brandon Knight and the arrival of new point guard Michael Carter-Williams. But they've settled down to go 6-4 over their last 10 games, clinching a postseason berth against the team coached by Kidd last season. According to STATS, Kidd is the first coach in NBA history to lead two franchises to the playoffs in his first two years as a head coach. On Sunday, Milwaukee relied on defense - a staple under Kidd - to hold off the Nets. Brooklyn shot 32 percent, but stayed within 43-41 at halftime with the Bucks shooting 41 percent in the first half. Milwaukee inched away with an 18-6 run over the first six-plus minutes of the third quarter to take a 61-47 lead. Ilyasova - one of the veteran holdovers from last season - had 11 points during the stretch. Ilyasova drew a charge during the middle of the spurt, sandwiching that defensive play with a layup and 18-foot jumper. The Bucks kept the Nets on their heels by attacking the basket, hitting 13 of 18 from the field in the third. Courtes of: fox11online.com
