Brandon Jennings scored 27 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to 102-93 win over the visiting Detroit Pistons on Thursday at the Bradley Center.

Milwaukee (4-6) has back-to-back wins after losing four straight. Detroit (2-9) has lost six in a row and trails the all-time series with the Bucks 116-94.

Jennings paced a balanced Bucks offense that had five players in double figures and totaled 25 assists in the win. Milwaukee was also red hot from beyond the arc, draining 11 of 22 from 3-point range.

Stephen Jackson hit three of those treys, finishing with 25 points.

Greg Monroe paced the Pistons with a strong game inside, shooting 12 of 16 for 32 points. Monroe also added 16 rebounds.

Milwaukee and Detroit were both perfect from the foul line, with the Bucks hitting all 17 of their free throws and the Piston shooting 24 for 24 from the stripe.

Jennings scored 12 of his points in the first half and sparked a 16-4 third-quarter run, extending Milwaukee’s lead by double figures with an old-fashion three-point play, drawing the foul on a streaking reverse layup.

Detroit, which was averaging just 78 points in the last five games, put together its biggest offensive showing during its slide and cut the lead to three points in the final five minutes.

The Pistons, however, had trouble keeping track of the basketball, finishing with 16 turnovers that translated into 20 points for the Bucks.

Detroit point guard Brandon Knight, starting in the place of Rodney Stuckey, scored 15 of his 20 points in the first half. Stuckey finished with 11 points in his first night back since missing four games with a groin injury.

Bucks rookie forward Jon Leuer scored 15 points, dished out five assists and grabbed six rebounds in his first NBA start.
