WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Bucks will be looking to
defeat another playoff team from last season when they visit the
Washington Wizards on Friday.

The Bucks are coming off Tuesday's 113-111 overtime victory over
Dallas, halting a two-game slide. Bobby Simmons and T.J. Ford
both recorded season highs with 26 and 24 points, respectively.

Top overall pick Andrew Bogut had the best game of his young
career with season highs of 19 points and 14 rebounds. The
Australian 7-footer also blocked Jason Terry's potential
game-tying shot in the waning seconds of overtime.

Washington has followed a five-game losing streak by winning two
of its last three games. On Wednesday, the Wizards posted a
96-89 home victory over Portland.

Gilbert Arenas scored 28 points, including four 3-pointers, and
Antawn Jamison collected 20 points and 15 rebounds for
Washington.

The Wizards won three of the four meetings against the Bucks
last season, including both games here.
