THE Milwaukee Bucks stunned the Miami Heat with a fourth-quarter blitz on Saturday in Milwaukee to record a 104-85 blowout win over the NBA champions.
With the Heat leading 71-69 entering the final period, the Bucks (16-12) kicked into high gear and outscored Miami 35-14 to blow them off the floor in the last quarter.
Brandon Jennings scored 25 points, Mike Dunleavy scored 13 of his 18 in the fourth and Milwaukee forced Miami into errors and turnovers. It was Miami's second successive loss.
"It was good to win a game like this against the defending champs," Milwaukee's Luc Richard Mbah a Moute said. "We've got to enjoy this one and continue to go at it. We needed to win a couple of games in a row at home."
Heat guard Dwyane Wade returned from his one-game suspension for kicking Charlotte's Ramon Sessions and scored 24 points, while LeBron James added 26 points.
"It's always been tough for us to play them," Wade said. "It's always a battle. They did their job and used their energy in the fourth quarter. They took a lead, and we couldn't come back."
Elsewhere, Russell Westbrook scored 28 points and Kevin Durant added 26 as the Oklahoma City Thunder built a big lead in the second quarter and eased to a 124-94 win over the Houston Rockets.
Durant scored 11 points during a 16-0 run by the Thunder to end the first half to extend the lead to 18. Oklahoma City had another big run early in the third quarter to put the game further out of reach.
In Atlanta, Lou Williams' 21 points and 12 assists led the Atlanta Hawks to a 109-100 win over the Indiana Pacers.
The Charlotte Bobcats lost their 18th game in a row, falling 98-95 to the New Orleans Hornets in Charlotte.
In Minneapolis, Nikola Pekovic had 28 points and 11 rebounds to lift the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 111-107 victory over the Phoenix Suns.
In other games, it was: Bulls 87, Wizards 77; Raptors 123, Magic 88; Nets 103, Cavaliers 100; Grizzlies 81, Nuggets 72; Warriors 101, Celtics 83; and Trail Blazers 89, 76ers 85.
