Bucks win 105-97, beat Heat again

MILWAUKEE (AP) – The Miami Heat have the stars, the sun and South Beach.

Somehow, the Milwaukee Bucks have bragging rights.

Brandon Jennings scored 31 points, including three 3-pointers in a critical stretch of the fourth quarter, and Milwaukee beat Miami 105-97 on Wednesday night for the Bucks’ second win over the Heat this season.

Even on a huge night for LeBron James – he scored a season-high 40 points, including a powerful windmill dunk destined for the highlight reels – Jennings and the Bucks walked away with a win.

And, apparently, a little bit of admiration from James.

“Me and LeBron looked at each other,” Jennings said. “I said, `40?’ He said, `You’ve got 31, though.”’

Jennings also had eight assists with no turnovers while Drew Gooden added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Bucks, who have won three straight – including a victory over the Los Angeles Lakers last Saturday.

The Bucks also beat the Heat 91-82 in Miami on Jan. 22.

James had 24 points in the first quarter, the most points any player has scored in a quarter this season, according to STATS LLC. But he went cold in the second half.

“You always give credit where credit is due,” James said. “They made some shots in the third quarter and fourth quarter. They got back into it. They made a run. We held it as much as possible.”

Dwyane Wade added 23 points for the Heat, but it wasn’t enough.
