Bucks lose season opener in Philly
The Bucks were the last NBA team to start their regular season, but it didn't start on a positive note in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Andre Iguodala scored 19 points, Elton Brand had 17 and the Philadelphia 76ers bounced back from a dismal opener to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 99-86 on Friday night.
Samuel Dalembert had 10 points and 12 rebounds to help the Sixers look sharp in their home opener.
The Sixers have almost been forgotten in Philadelphia with the New York-Philly NFL/World Series doubleheader set for Sunday. Brand gave fans a reason to care, grabbing rebounds and scoring key baskets in a third-quarter comeback.
Michael Redd and 20-year-old rookie guard Brandon Jennings led the Bucks with 17 points each. Milwaukee was the last NBA team to start the season.
