CHICAGO -- Brandon Jennings stretched out his arms and held his hands just over the ground as he glided toward centre court, celebrating another big 3-pointer with one of Nate Robinsons usual moves. Yup, Jennings was listening to Robinsons trash talk, and he had the perfect response. The speedy point guard scored 20 of his 35 points in the third quarter, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Chicago Bulls 104-96 on Wednesday night for their second consecutive victory under interim coach Jim Boylan. Robinson scored 13 of his 19 points in the first period, but was unable to stop Jennings once he got going in the third. "A little trash talking before the second half," Jennings said. "I guess he felt like he had it going, he was getting the best of me. I really dont take trash talking too kindly because I dont really do a lot of trash talking. I warned him, so, hey, it happens." Mike Dunleavy had 16 points and Monta Ellis finished with 14 for Milwaukee, which made 10 of 22 3-point attempts. Larry Sanders grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked seven shots. "I think the whole team played well, but obviously Brandon, offensively, really got it going," Boylan said. "I thought our defence got a little more active, coming up with loose balls. Larrys presence around the basket is intimidating. Guys go in there and theyre looking for him." Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulls, who have dropped their last two games against Milwaukee at United Center. The Bulls blew a 27-point lead in the third quarter as Milwaukee snapped a nine-game losing streak against Chicago with a 93-92 victory on Nov. 26. "Just second half, I think they made a lot of tough shots," Boozer said. "Brandon was amazing. We missed some shots we usually make, and that was the game." Boozer has recorded a double-double in six consecutive games while playing some of his best basketball in three seasons with the Bulls. Its the best such streak for Chicago since Joakim Noah also had a double-double in six straight games in 2009. The Bucks parted ways with Scott Skiles on Monday in what was called a mutual decision, and turned to his top assistant for at least the rest of the season. Boylan also served as an interim coach in Chicago when Skiles was let go during the 2007-08 season. "I told the guys that Im just gonna have fun with this," Boylan said. "Coach as well as I can coach, motivate these guys, and thats what Im gonna do." It was a lot of fun against Chicago, especially when Jennings got on a roll in the third. He was 4 for 7 from long range in the period, including two 3s during a quick 8-0 burst that gave the Bucks a 72-64 lead with 4:48 left. "Teams go in stretches where they score and score and score," Robinson said. "Its like you cant do nothing about it. But tonight we beat ourselves. Brandon Jennings got hot. It happens." Robinson also downplayed his running conversation with Jennings. "A couple of dirty plays exchanged, but, you know, nothing to complain about," he said. "Its basketball." Jennings added a key floater in the fourth as the Bucks won for only the seventh time in their last 27 games against the Bulls. Luol Deng scored 18 points for Chicago, which was seeking a season-best fourth consecutive victory. Robinson got the start in place of Kirk Hinrich, who was sidelined with a right elbow injury. It was the fifth start of the season for the streaky guard, who made three 3-pointers in the first quarter to help Chicago grab a 33-23 lead after one. The Bulls still held a 10-point lead in the final seconds of the first half when Jennings connected from long range, slicing Chicagos advantage to 57-50 at the break. NOTES: Bulls C Nazr Mohammed was preparing for the second half when a giant inflatable Benny the Bull landed on him near the free-throw line. The operator quickly got the mascot away from Mohammed, who just smiled as he continued to warm up. ... Hinrich has been hampered by a slew of injuries this season. He missed three games in December with a bruised left knee and a game in November because of an injured right hip. ... Boylan said before the game he thinks Skiles will coach again. ... The crowd roared when Bears CB Charles Tillman was shown on the overhead videoboard before the final period. ... Jennings has made at least one 3-pointer in a career-best 22 straight games. nfl holdjersey .Y. -- Vince Youngs lawyer disputed a companys claim that the Buffalo Bills backup quarterback defaulted on a high-risk loan and now owes nearly $1. cheap jerseys .

CALGARY -- Craig Anderson had been beaten enough by Bobby Butler in practice to know it was only a matter of time before the Ottawa Senators sophomore broke out with a big night. Anderson made 38 saves and Butler scored his first two goals of the season to lead the Senators to a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. "Its one of those things where statistically, you knew he was going to have a breakout game where he was going to score a couple," said Anderson. "Hes been really good in practice lately, ripping a few pucks past me, so it was nice to see him do it to someone else." Butler made a nice toe-drag move against defenceman Mark Giordano, then snapped a shot over the glove of goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff to break a 1-1 tie at 9:50 of the third period. "It had been a little while so it definitely felt good to get the first one of the season," said Butler, who exploded onto the scene in his rookie campaign scoring 10 goals in just 36 games. The 24 year old had been shut out in his first nine games this year. "It was a highlight reel goal for your first goal of the year and for Bobby, he could have kicked it in and he would have taken it," said Ottawa coach Paul MacLean. MacLean rewarded Butler with extra ice time in the third period and he eventually added his second goal at 16:12 to make it 3-1, bursting down the right wing and firing a wrist shot inside the far goal post. "After he scored the first goal, he was right back on the ice again. When good things happen in the game, you reward the players that are playing well," MacLean said. Anderson was impressive for the second straight outing after getting shelled for four goals on six shots before getting pulled against Buffalo last Friday. "When you have a bad game, you want to get right back in there and prove everybody that you can do a good job," said Anderson, who stopped 31 of 33 shots Saturday night against Toronto. "The guys have been playing really well the last couple games, allowing me to make the saves from the outside, control the rebounds, and the defence has done a great job of cleaning up in front." Daniel Alfredsson also scored for Ottawa (9-9-1). On the heels of a five-game winless streak, the Senators have won two games in a row as they reach the halfway point of their six-game road trip, which continues Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers. "Overall, weve been playing pretty good hockey lately," Anderson said. "Even when we were losing, we were right there, a shootouut loss, we lost by a goal here and there.dddddddddddd A bounce here or a bounce there, one less mistake, and those games are wins or points for us." Tom Kostopoulos scored the lone goal for Calgary (7-9-1). The Flames had won eight of their previous nine meetings with Ottawa dating back to 2004. "Its tough league to score goals, a tough league to win in, youve got to be able to win the tight games 2-1,1-0," said Flames forward Olli Jokinen. "You cant get frustrated and get into your own program that oh, Ive got to score three goals next game. Its not going to work that way, you have to play for the team and goals will come." The Flames continue to struggle at home where theyve won just twice in their last seven games. They host the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night. "We have to get on a bit of a roll. We have to be really sharp and really strong with our details," Giordano said. "I thought we played well but a mistake by myself there and a couple breakdowns cost us a couple goals in the third." Kiprusoff had 29 saves for the Flames. Ottawa opened the scoring at 18:44 of the second period. When Jarome Iginla couldnt get the puck past Nick Foligno along the side boards, Foligno burst back into the Flames end on the transition and sent a pass to Alfredsson driving to the slot, who snapped a shot into the top corner for his fifth goal. Kostopoulos tied it a minute later deflecting in Matt Stajans centring pass. It was another miserable night for the Flames struggling power play unit. Calgary went 0-for-6 with the man advantage to fall to an NHL worst 2-for-40 on home ice. During the 64 second two-man advantage, they failed to record a shot on goal. "We moved the puck better and we got more scoring chances but bottom line, we have to find a way to put one in," Giordano said. Ottawa was 0-for-4 with the power play. Notes: Calgary LW David Moss (lower body) did not play, which opened up a spot in the line-up for Stajan, who was a healthy scratch the past two games. ... Iginla, Bourque, and Glencross share the team lead with five goals. Last place Columbus is the only other NHL team without a player with greater than five goals. ... The last time Ottawa scored greater than three goals against the Flames was in a 4-4 tie on Nov. 22, 2001. That was also the last time Alfredsson had scored against Calgary, having been blanked in the 10 games since, the second longest drought against any NHL opponent. Alfredsson has not scored in his last 12 games against New Jersey. ' ' '
