Clippers pull away from Bucks in 2nd half

Redick finished the game making 11 of 18 shots and six of nine three-pointers, easily eclipsing his one-for-nine shooting performance two days earlier at Minnesota. “I always talk about regressing to the mean, but I feel like if I take the shots I take in practice and shoot all the time, eventually I’ll hit some”.

After growing into a full-time starting role in 2013-14 with Phoenix, Plumlee hasn’t started once since joining the Bucks in the 34 games he’s played.

The Bucks gave Redick too many open looks in the third quarter, Bucks coach Jason Kidd said.

The Clippers also outrebounded Milwaukee, 51-40, for the largest margin in their favor this season while holding the Bucks to a season-low 20 percent shooting from three-point range. Milwaukee led by as many as eleven in the first half last (Wednesday) night, and the Bucks had a one-point edge at the break.

Los Angeles trailed by a point entering the third quarter but went on an 11-0 run, which included two 3-pointers by Redick, to take a 63-56 lead.

When Redick gets it going the way he did, Paul said everyone finds him.

C DeAndre Jordan grabbed 19 rebounds to go along with nine points.

“That’s a good team over there”, Monroe said.

Their solid all-around play allowed them to quickly dismiss a verbal blowup late in the first quarter that started when Milwaukee’s Michael Carter-Williams split the Clippers’ defense for a dunk on a blown assignment by Josh Smith.
