MEMPHIS, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Rookie Brandon Jennings scored 26 points Saturday to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 103-98 win over Memphis and their seventh win in their last eight games.

Ersan Ilyasova added 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Bucks and Charlie Bell tallied 19 points.

Rudy Gay had 24 points for the Grizzlies, but it wasn't enough to keep their three-game winning streak going. Zach Randolph scored 18 points and Marc Gasol had 14 points and 14 rebounds.

Jennings hit three-of-four free throw attempts with less than 13 seconds to play to keep the Bucks a step ahead of Memphis, which had pulled to within four points on a 3-point bucket by Sam Young.

The Grizzlies led 29-19 after one quarter of play and 50-45 at the half.
