SACRAMENTO, March 20 (UPI) -- Brandon Jennings helped Milwaukee finally pull away in the second overtime Friday and the Bucks defeated Sacramento 114-108.

Milwaukee rallied from a nine-point deficit with 2:30 left in the fourth period and forced overtime when Ersan Ilyasova hit a 3-pointer with 6 seconds remaining.

Neither team could score in the final minute of the first extra period after Sacramento's Beno Udrih hit a jumper with 1:01 to go that tied it at 101-101.

Milwaukee outscored Sacramento in the second overtime 13-7 and bounced back from a Wednesday loss to the Los Angeles Clippers that ended a six-game winning streak. The Bucks are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Jennings led the way with 35 points, John Salmons had 27 and Andrew Bogut scored 21. Those three combined to produce 73 percent of Milwaukee's points.

Sacramento was led by Udrih with 26. Milwaukee made 14-of-30 from 3-point range.
