NBA Capsules (AP)

MIAMI ? Brandon Jennings scored 23 points, Ersan Ilyasova added 16 off the bench and the Milwaukee Bucks held Miami to 37 percent shooting on the way to beating the Heat 91-82 on Sunday night.

It was the second straight road win for Milwaukee, which started the year 0-8 away from home. Andrew Bogut scored 13 points for the Bucks, who got 10 apiece from Shaun Livingston and Stephen Jackson.

LeBron James finished with 28 points and 13 rebounds for Miami, which had won three straight. Chris Bosh scored 23 for the Heat, who got 12 from Mario Chalmers.

Milwaukee turned 22 Miami turnovers into 22 points and the Heat tied an NBA season-low with nine assists, one shy of matching the franchise record.

It was the first time Miami lost this season in seven games without Dwyane Wade, out again with a sprained right ankle.

CELTICS 100, WIZARDS 94

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Paul Pierce had season highs with 34 points and 10 assists and tied his season-best mark with eight rebounds to lead Boston over Washington.

The Celtics won for the second time in three games despite playing most of the game without a pair of starting guards. Point guard Rajon Rondo was out for the second straight game with a sprained right wrist, and Boston lost starting guard Ray Allen as well when he jammed his left ankle in the first half.

Pierce stepped in and made up for their absence, going 10 for 15 from the floor and 12 of 15 from the line. His three steals were also a season high.

Kevin Garnett scored 17 points, Mickael Pietrus tied a season high with 14 and Brandon Bass had 13 for the Celtics.

John Wall scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists for the Wizards. Nick Young scored 19 points and JaVale McGee added 13.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Mo Williams scored 19 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, Blake Griffin had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Los Angeles sent Toronto to its eighth straight loss.

DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and 16 rebounds and Chauncey Billups had 14 assists for the Clippers, playing their fifth straight game without point guard Chris Paul because of a left hamstring strain.

Caron Butler finished with 15 points for Los Angeles.

Leandro Barbosa scored 19 points and Linas Kleiza added 16 for the Raptors.

Toronto's DeMar DeRozan had 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

NETS 97, BOBCATS 87

NEWARK N.J. (AP) ? Deron Williams had 19 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists to lead New Jersey over Charlotte.

MarShon Brooks added 20 points for the Nets, while Anthony Morrow added 19 points.

Rookie Kemba Walker led the Bobcats with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists. Gerald Henderson had 15 points while Bismack Biyombo and Derrick Brown had 11 each.
