INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- John Salmons' 20 points powered Milwaukee to a 112-110 win over Indiana Thursday, the Bucks' fifth straight win since acquiring him.
Salmons hit a pair of key free throws late in the game that kept Milwaukee ahead by two possessions, 110-106, with 20 seconds left to go.
After Indiana's Danny Granger was fouled from 3-point range with 10 seconds left and could make only 2-of-3 from the line, Brandon Jennings (18 points) went to the charity stripe for the Bucks and drilled both shots to restore Milwaukee's four-point cushion with 10 seconds remaining.
Since acquiring Salmons in a trade-deadline deal with Chicago, Milwaukee is 5-0.
Andrew Bogut contributed 15 points and pulled down 10 boards while Ersan Ilyasova chipped in with 17 points in the win.
Granger led the Pacers with 21 points, while T.J. Ford added 17 and Troy Murphy connected for 16, including four 3-pointers.
