MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Bucks lost their home season finale to Philadelphia last night, 90-85. Ersan Ilyasova, Drew Gooden, Monta Ellis, Carlos Delfino, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute all sat out. The Bucks blew a 13-point second quarter lead.

Philly was up by eight going into the final period, and never trailed after that. Rookies Tobias Harris and Jon Leuer started for Milwaukee. Harris had his first pro double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Brandon Jennings scored 19, as Milwaukee ended its home schedule at 17-16. Evan Turner scored 29 for Philadelphia, and former Buck Jodie Meeks added 27.

The 76’ers sat out four key players – Elton Brand, Andre Igoudala, Lou Williams, and Thaddeus Young – so they could rest for the playoffs which begin this weekend. The Sixers clinched the final Eastern Conference playoff spot on Monday night, locking the Bucks out of the post-season for the fifth time in six years.

Milwaukee will close out its season in Boston tonight.
