HOUSTON - The Milwaukee Bucks lost their 11th straight game in Houston, 93-84 on Martin Luther King Day. Kevin Martin scored 36 points for the Rockets, who ended a four-game home losing streak and won for just the third time in their last 10 contests overall.
The game was tied at 39 at the half. But Martin heated up for 11 points in the third quarter. As a result, Houston went into the fourth quarter with an eight-point lead and hung on from there. Martin hit 11-of-23 from the floor and 14-of-18 from the free-throw line.
Corey Maggette scored a season-high 25 points for Milwaukee, which has lost two straight and six-of-its-last-seven. The Bucks are still the only NBA team not to win in the Toyota Center in its eight-year history. But after beating the Rockets at home last month, Milwaukee blew a chance to sweep Houston for the first time in 11 years in their two-game season series. And the Bucks fell to a season-worst 10 games below .500 at 14-24. They’ll host Washington tomorrow night.
