Bobcats 95, Bucks 85
: Kemba Walker scored 21 points and Josh McRoberts added 18 as host Charlotte sent playoff-bound Milwaukee to its 11th loss in 14 games.

Bismack Biyombo finished with 13 points and a career high-tying 17 rebounds for the Bobcats, who produced a 52-36 advantage on the glass in avenging a 131-102 loss earlier this month in Milwaukee.

Mike Dunleavy scored 19 points off the bench and Monta Ellis chipped in 16 for Milwaukee, which played its second straight game without starters Brandon Jennings (Achilles) and Larry Sanders (back). The loss assured that the Bucks will meet Miami in the opening round of the playoffs.

Charlotte took nearly four minutes to score its first point but used a 16-2 run early in the second to take the lead. Ellis scored Milwaukee's first seven points of the second half to forge a 51-51 tie before the Bobcats took over for good.

Biyombo's layup ignited a 25-8 surge to close out the third quarter and Charlotte led by as many as 18 in the fourth. The Bucks, after making 17-of-33 3-pointers in their last game, made only 9-of-29 and missed their last three to hurt their chances at a late comeback.

GAME NOTEBOOK
: Milwaukee G J.J. Redick added 12 points but was 2-for-11 from 3-point range. ... The Bucks finish their home schedule Monday against Denver. ... The Bobcats can still pass Orlando and avoid finishing with the worst record in the NBA for the second straight season. Charlotte trails the Magic by one game with two to play.
