Michael Redd scored 14 points for the Bucks.

The Pacers were led by Roy Hibbert with 16 points and Tory Murphy with 14. Indiana fell to 3-5 since leading scorer Danny Granger went down with a foot injury.

Jennings hit a fade-away jumper and Tyler Hansbrough added a key dunk with 20.6 seconds left in the game to put the contest away for Milwaukee, which allowed the Pacers to stay close because of poor free throw shooting down the stretch.
