MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Despite a poor start from All-Stars Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen, the Milwaukee Bucks got enough help Tim Thomas and Ervin Johnson to defeat the Chicago Bulls 92-73 Tuesday night. Milwaukee (36-38) remained two games behind Orlando for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Magic defeated San Antonio 107-97 for their seventh consecutive victory. Thomas scored 11 first-quarter points and Johnson added six to help pick up the slack as Robinson missed his first five shots and Allen his first four. Thomas, in quickly off the bench due to two fouls on Darvin Ham, made all five of his shots in first period as the Bucks took a 24-18 lead. The Bucks pushed the lead to 18 points at the half and 30 in the third quarter. Sam Cassell led Milwaukee with the way with 19 points and 12 assists, while Allen scored 18 and Robinson 14. Elton Brand topped Chicago with 18 points and fellow rookie Ron Artest scored 16. Notes: Milwaukee's Vinny Del Negro saw his first action in 11 games. He had been sitting out with a stress reaction in his right leg. Bucks coach George Karl was going to call on the veteran guard Sunday at Golden State, but Del Negro was in the restroom when his name was called, and Karl instead inserted Rafer Alston ... Brand, the NBA's rookie of the month in January and February, has led the Bulls in scoring for 11 consecutive games, averaging 22.6 points. | ALSO SEE NBA Scoreboard Chicago Clubhouse Milwaukee Clubhouse RECAPS Washington 102 New Jersey 93
