Anthony picked up the pace midway through the third with Denver trailing by 12 when he took a hard foul from Bogut that drew a double technical. He went on to score 12 of Denver's next 13 points, but the Nuggets trailed 81-72 to start the fourth.

Jennings was well on his way to a special night with a late spurt before the half, twice taking Chris Andersen to the basket. Jennings capped the second quarter by using a screen from Bogut and hitting a fading jumper over the outstretched Birdman to give Milwaukee a 53-47 halftime lead.

"He's learned so much in (six) games, it's like he's played a season already," Bogut said. "He's hitting big shots for us, understands when to pass, when to drive. Defensively, he's getting more involved. Nobody thought he would be this good yet."

Notes

Milwaukee has won three straight overall. ... A night after benefiting from a replay review in a 90-89 victory over Chicago, Denver got two favorable calls when Hakim Warrick's layup to end the third was waved off and a jumper by Ilyasova was ruled a 2-point basket instead of a 3 early in the fourth quarter.
