Player of the Game:
Richard Jefferson
Quote of the Night:
"We really struggled tonight without the depth we needed to beat a solid Milwaukee team. Shane, Kyle, and Aaron are expected to be less than 100% for another two weeks so hopefully we can come out of the gates rolling so we don't have to rely on our shortage of bench players to get a lead for us. It's a tough game to lose considering the solid night Yao had but he knows it's a team game and he wont be happy with a performance like that when it ends in a loss. We've got New Years Day off and we head up to Canada on Friday to face the Raptors. Hopefully we can pull out a big win with Calderon less than 100% with his dislocated finger." - Ron Artest
