MILWAUKEE, March 15 (UPI) -- Charlie Bell scored all four of his points in the final 1:34 Sunday, helping Milwaukee hold off Boston 86-77 in a cold-shooting game for both teams.

Bell sank a free throw to give the Bucks a four-point advantage and, with 48.4 to go, hit a 3-point shot to stretch the lead to seven.

Charlie Villanueva scored 19 points before fouling out with more than 4 minutes to go and Richard Jefferson totaled 17 for the Bucks, who had lost their previous six games against the Celtics.

Luc Mbah a Moute added 15 points for Milwaukee, which connected on only 32.4 percent of its field goals but forced Boston into 25 turnovers, the highest total for the Celtics this season.

Kendrick Perkins posted 26 points for the Celtics, who shot at 37.7 from the field in their third loss in four games.
