Redd scores 57, but Bucks lose to the Jazz

Michael Redd scored 57 points to break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s team record, but Matt Harpring made a layup with 1.8 seconds left to give the Utah Jazz a 113-111 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night at Milwaukee.

“I will probably just go home and thank God,” Redd said. “A second-round pick, a guy that didn’t know if he was going to make the team or not, to this. I am just grateful. I can’t describe it.

“But I wanted to win. That’s the main thing. It probably would have felt better if I would have won the game.”

The Bucks almost did, as Redd’s 39-point second half helped erase a 24-point, first-half deficit.

But Carlos Boozer scored 32 points and Deron Williams had 27 points and a career-high 15 assists to help the Jazz move to 6-1 for only the fifth time in franchise history.

The Bucks dropped their fourth in a row to fall to 2-5, their worst start since 2000-01.

Redd broke the franchise scoring record of 55 set by Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA’s career scoring leader, against the Boston Celtics on Dec. 10, 1971.

It was Redd’s first career 50-point game and sixth career 40-point game.
