Bulls seek fifth straight home win against Bucks

Mar 29, 2008 - 10:22 AM Milwaukee (24-47) at Chicago (28-47) 8:30 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - The Chicago Bulls will look to continue their recent home success when they host the lowly Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.

Chicago has won the four meetings in the series here, including 103-99 decision on December 28 behind Ben Gordon's 31 points off the bench.

The Bulls' chances of making the postseason got even tougher with Friday's 106-103 setback to the Atlanta Hawks that dropped them four games out of the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference.

"Every loss is tough, especially when you kind of feel like you have a chance to win and don't get it," said Gordon, who owns a career average of 20.9 points against the Bucks. "This is one of our tougher losses."

Without Andrew Bogut roaming the middle, Milwaukee dropped its third straight game with Friday's 103-86 loss to the Orlando Magic. Mo Williams carried the load with 18 points.

Bogut sat out after suffering a broken nose during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss to Atlanta. He is listed as day-to-day and will wear a protective mask following surgery.
