Sixers look to contiune late-season push

Mar 9, 2008 - 1:10 PM Philadelphia (29-33) at Milwaukee (23-39) 1:00 pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) - The upstart Philadelphia 76ers look to continue their climb in the Eastern Conference standings when they take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.

Philadelphia, which is riding a three-game winning streak, enters just one game behind the shorthanded Washington Wizards (30-32) for the sixth spot in the weak East.

The Sixers are 11-3 since February 5 and a lot of their recent success can be attributed to the play of swingman Andre Iguodala, who is averaging 21.1 points over that stretch.

"We are feeding off each other and not just forcing one guy to score," said Iguodala, whose averaging 14.3 points in 14 career games against the Bucks.

In their last trip to the Bradley Center, Samuel Dalembert had 22 points to lead four others in double figures in the Sixers' 114-99 win on November 27.

Despite 25 points from sharpshooter Michael Redd, the Bucks came up on the short end of things with Friday's 103-101 setback to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Milwaukee coach Larry Krystkowiak might have to juggle his rotation again as point guard Mo Williams (abdominal strain) and rookie forward Yi Jianlian (ankle) could be sidelined due to injury.
