Jennings didn't take a shot in the first half, but came out firing to wake up the Bucks.

Trailing 44-39, Bogut and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute each scored before Jennings hit the first of his three 3s during an 28-8 run that Bogut capped when he took a pass from Jennings and dropped in for a 67-54 lead with 3:05 left. Portland went four minutes without a basket during the stretch, being outscored 30-15 in the third and trailing 69-59 heading into the fourth.

Jennings wore a brace on his left knee after hyperextending it in the third quarter of Wednesday's victory over Toronto.

"I had a new knee brace on so it was a little different for me," he said. "I wasn't really comfortable at first. In the second half, I just said forget it, let's play basketball."

The Trail Blazers' injured list grew by three this week.

Greg Oden, the top pick in the 2007 draft, had surgery on Dec. 6 to repair a left patella fracture and is out for the season. A day later, head coach Nate McMillan underwent surgery on his ruptured Achilles' tendon, and guard Rudy Fernandez had a procedure to alleviate pain in his right leg.

Portland forwards Travis Outlaw (foot), Nicolas Batum (shoulder) and Jeff Pendergraph (hip), and guard Patrick Mills (foot) were already out after undergoing surgery.
