March 13, 2012 By

Brandon Jennings poured in 34 points and Drew Gooden added 23 to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 105-99 win over the New Jersey Nets.

The NBA trade deadline is Thursday and Jennings has had his name tossed around in potential deals.  But Jennings was able to put that aside and lead the Bucks in scoring.  He also pulled down 7 rebounds and dished out 7 assists.

The Bucks started slow, but put up 58 points in the second half to pull out the win and move into a tie with the New York Knicks for the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.  The Bucks own the tie-breaker and would be in the playoffs if the regular season were to end today.

Scott Skiles hasn’t been happy with his team’s defensive effort for much of the

The Bucks held the 76ers to 38 points and 26% shooting (13 of 49) from the field in the second half..

Brandon Jennings finished with 33 points to lead the Bucks (15-23).  Drew Gooden added 25 points and 10 rebounds, and Ersan Ilyasova continued his strong rebounding effort, pulling down 18 on the night.

The Bucks are off today.  They’ll host the Chicago Bulls at the Bradley Center on Wednesday night.
