MILWAUKEE, April 3 (UPI) -- Brandon Jennings connected on three key baskets in overtime Saturday, sending the Milwaukee Bucks to a 93-87 win over Philadelphia.

Jennings went 3-for-3 from the floor in the extra period after going 0-for-6 in regulation, finishing with 13 points.

John Salmons scored 19 to go with eight assists for the Bucks, who kept their flickering playoff hopes alive. At 3 1/2 games behind eighth-seeded Indiana in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks have six games remaining in which to bypass both ninth-seeded Charlotte and the Pacers.

The playoff-bound Sixers, meanwhile, got 20 points and 12 rebounds from Elton Brand as their three-game winning streak was snapped.
