John Salmons chipped in 25 points and seven assists and Brandon Jennings collected 16 points and 10 assists for the Bucks (27-41), who stayed alive in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, 2½ games behind the Indiana Pacers (30-39).

Milwaukee made its move in the third quarter, getting three 3-pointers from Delfino during an 11-4 spurt to go up, 70-63, with 6:33 left in the frame. The Nets rallied back to within a point but the Bucks closed the quarter with three unanswered baskets to take a 80-73 cushion into the fourth.
