Carlos Delfino helped Milwaukee take a 12-point halftime lead and finished with 25 points. Jennings had 16 for the Bucks, although he made only 4-of-17 shots from the field.

Philadelphia closed within five going into the fourth period and the 76ers were only three behind in the final minute.

Jrue Holiday missed a 3-pointer with 12 seconds left that would have tied it and although Samuel Dalembert grabbed the offensive rebound, he immediately threw a pass out of bounds.

Jennings was fouled on the inbounds play and his two free throws wrapped up Milwaukee's fourth straight victory.

Philadelphia was led by Andre Iguodala with 21.
