The Bucks held a 29-point lead at one point but had to turn back a fourth-quarter Nets rally to secure the win.
Gerald Wallace (16 points, 16 rebounds) and Deron Williams (18 points and eight assists) led the Nets, who dropped a fourth consecutive game.
Brooklyn fell to 1-4 since losing starting center Brook Lopez to a foot injury.
