MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Andrew Bogut and Carlos Delfino each scored 21 points, Bogut also grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the winless New Jersey Nets 99-85 on Wednesday night.

The short-handed Nets have lost 12 straight for their longest single-season losing streak in more than 19 years. This one was painful because Chris Douglas-Roberts scored a career-high 31 points and had 10 rebounds, but the Nets blew a 48-41 halftime lead by shooting 9 of 38 in the second half.

That made it easy for Bogut, Delfino and rookie Brandon Jennings, who had 19 points and eight assists in his second game since a 55-point night on Saturday.
