MILWAUKEE, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Milwaukee used 67 points from Charlie Villanueva, Richard Jefferson and Ramon Sessions combined Saturday to forge a 110-107 win over Atlanta.

Villanueva led the way with 27 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Jefferson and Sessions each scored 20 points with Sessions adding seven assists as the Bucks won back-to-back games for the first time since a three-game win streak in late December.

The Hawks got 24 points from Mike Bibby, 22 from Joe Johnson and 18 from Josh Smith, who also had 11 rebounds.

The Bucks held an 87-74 lead going into the fourth quarter but went cold from the field and it was their 11-for-12 performance from the free-throw line that made the difference.

A Smith layup with 7.5 seconds left brought Atlanta to within 106-104 but Ridnour hit two from the line and Jefferson sank two more after Johnson's missed three-pointer to finish off Milwaukee's win.
