Bucks 104, Pistons 88: Ersan Ilyasova scored a season-high 22 points off the bench to lead visiting Milwaukee past Detroit for the second time in four nights.

Jared Dudley buried four 3-pointers en route to a season-high 16 points for the Bucks, who have won three in a row and eight of their last 11. Khris Middleton chipped in 12 points and Jerryd Bayless had 10 to help Milwaukee claim a 69-13 advantage in bench scoring.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had 21 points and Josh Smith contributed 13 points and a season-high nine assists for the Pistons, who went 14-of-25 from the line.

Dudley, who entered averaging 4.3 points, had 11 in the second quarter alone to help Milwaukee turn an early eight-point deficit into an eight-point lead at the break. Detroit was within one point on several occasions in the third, but the Bucks closed with a 7-1 run and Ilyasova had the first six points of the fourth to put his team up 80-69.

Kyle Singler tried to keep Detroit close with a 3-pointer and a long jumper near the nine-minute mark before Ilyasova scored on a layup to make it 87-74 with 8:26 left. Kendall Marshall followed with a pair of 3s and Dudley scored on consecutive possessions as Milwaukee pushed the margin to as many as 19 points in its third straight double-digit win.
