Rockets Vs. Bucks Final Score Update: Bucks Snap Rockets Streak, Win 105-99

The Rockets seven game winning streak was snapped on Wednesday night by the Milwaukee Bucks, who handed Houston just its third home loss of the season.

G Stephen Jackson and G Brandon Jennings put up matching 20 point efforts, and the Bucks delivered the Rockets their first loss in two weeks.

Kevin Martin paced Houston with 29 points, and three other Rockets added 13 points or more, but the short-handed Rockets couldn't extend their season-best streak to eight games.

Just eight Rockets played on Wednesday night, and starting PG Kyle Lowry logged 43 minutes, nearly six more than his season average. Lowry finished with eight points, eight rebounds and 10 assists, continuing his well-rounded start to 2012.

Houston continues its four game home stand Friday night when they host the Washington Wizards.

NBA MVP 2012 Power Rankings: Kyle Lowry Has Proven To Be An All-Star This Season

Riding a seven-game winning streak and finally gaining some national respect, the Houston Rockets will have a stern test against a veteran-laden San Antonio Spurs squad on Wednesday night.

One person on the Rockets whose played like a seasoned veteran all year has been sixth-year point guard Kyle Lowry, who was featured on Tom Ziller's MVP Rankings this Wednesday.

7. Kyle Lowry Rockets 16.5 points on .564 TS%, 8.7 assists, 6.9 rebounds, 2.1 steals 10
The Rockets are now reflecting Lowry's genius, riding a hot streak into the playoff seeds. If Lowry and Kevin Martin can carry Houston all of the way into the postseason in Kevin McHale's first full season as a head coach, a whole lot of crow will be eaten around the league.

Those numbers are LeBron-esque, and Lowry's presence in the lineup is proving to be a real difference maker for Kevin McHale and for the rest of the Rockets top players. Kevin Martin's shot selection has improved, Luis Scola and Samuel Dalembert are getting shots closer to the rim and the role players are increasingly involved in the offense.

So NBA fans...can you make this man an All-Star? Its the least you could do.
