HIGHLIGHTS: Brent Barry scored 29 points and went 11-for-14 from the field. On this road trip, he has made 18 of 23 shots (.783).


LOWLIGHTS: Art Long had a couple, air-balling a wide-open 15-footer from the baseline and being rejected at the rack by Joel Przybilla, leading to a Sam Cassell jumper, ending another Bucks fast break.


STATISTICALLY SPEAKING: The Sonics are taking care of the ball, committing nine turnovers last night after seven the night before in Charlotte. ... Bucks reserve guard Michael Redd, who played 35 total minutes last year, scored 16 points off the bench. ... Filling in for the injured Baker, Predrag Drobnjak scored six points in six first-half minutes for the Sonics.


QUOTABLE: Bucks forward Anthony Mason, a 12-year veteran, commenting on his team's inability to hold a lead: "Teams get bravado against us. Some teams, you get up by 10 or 12, it might be over. It doesn't happen like that here. It's like: 'Don't worry about it, they'll let you back in.' We don't play no defense."


WILLIAMS & WATSON: Shammond Williams has replaced Earl Watson as the backup point guard, for the time being. Explained McMillan: "Earl's hit a wall. In a few games, he looked a little tired. He wasn't creating as much. I'm not down on him. I still like him as a backup."


NEXT UP: Indiana, Conseco Fieldhouse, tomorrow at 5 p.m.
