Kevin Martin scored 23 points to lead Houston (8-14).

The Rockets made it interesting when Kyle Lowry hit two 3-pointers in a nine-second span to trim a 93-85 deficit to three points with 23.9 seconds remaining. Milwaukee put the game away on a Bogut layup with nine seconds left.

Brandon Jennings scored 19 points and John Salmons added 17 points for Milwaukee. Ersan Ilyasova added 13 points.

The Bucks had a 48-37 rebounding edge and blocked 10 shots.

With Yao Ming sidelined with an ankle injury, Houston fill-in centers Chuckie Hayes and Brad Miller were badly outplayed by Bogut.

Rockets guard Courtney Lee added 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting.
