Bucks 108, Nets 93: Brandon Jennings scored 25 points and Monta Ellis added 20 as host Milwaukee posted its 13th straight victory over Brooklyn.
Reserves Mike Dunleavy and Ersan Ilyasova added 17 apiece for Milwaukee, which went 10-for-17 from 3-point range. Larry Sanders collected 12 points and 12 rebounds as the Bucks topped 100 points for the first time in nine games.
Brook Lopez had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Nets, who played without point guard Deron Williams (bruised right wrist) and power forward Kris Humphries (abdominal). Andray Blatche contributed 14 points but Joe Johnson was held to 13 as Brooklyn lost for the 10th time in 13 games.
Milwaukee started slowly but scored 33 points in the second quarter, leading to a 55-42 halftime advantage. The Nets held a 35-31 lead with 7:11 remaining but the Bucks closed the half with a 24-7 run and took their first double-digit lead on Sanders' short jumper with 1:56 remaining.
