The Bucks started the game by jumping out to a 12-0 lead.  Houston eventually chipped away and took a lead into the locker room at halftime.  But the Bucks used a big 20-0 run in the second half to reclaim the lead and hang on for the win.

Stephen Jackson and Brandon Jennings scored 20 points each and Ersan Ilyasova pulled down a career high 19 rebounds in the win.  The Bucks (7-10) snapped an 11-game losing streak at Houston.  The last Bucks victory came back in 1999.

Kevin Martin scored 29 points to lead the Rockets, who saw their 7-game win streak come to an end.

The Bucks are in Chicago on Friday night to face the Bulls.
