Sacramento had won 29 straight home games against the Eastern Conference since losing to Indiana March 3, 2002. Milwaukee entered Tuesday having lost its last five road games and was just 10-24 away from home this season.

The Bucks, who lost to the Lakers in overtime Sunday, never trailed as they outplayed the league's best team. They shot 51 percent (43-of-84) from the floor and held a 44-36 edge on the glass, led by Van Horn.

Milwaukee was clinging to an 88-86 edge early in the fourth quarter before scoring 10 of the next 12 points. Van Horn had seven points during the spurt, capping it with a pair of free throws for a 98-88 cushion with 6:13 left.

The Bucks made 11-of-12 free throws in the final 3 1/2 minutes, including six in a row from Joe Smith, and held on for just their second win in 10 games.
