Milwaukee's Andrew Bogut tied the game up at 32 apiece in the second quarter. The seven-foot Australian finished the game with 15 points and 13 rebounds.
Right after halftime, the Bucks' John Salmons gave Bogut an assist. The big man stayed strong for the tip-in. He forged a 4-point lead for Milwaukee.
The Kings would retake the lead in the fourth quarter. Omri Casspi sank a three pointer. Sacramento went ahead 75-69, but the Kings committed 25 turnovers and squandered a late-game lead for the third straight time.
Earl Boykins went on another fourth quarter streak. He drilled the Lakers earlier this week and sparked a 12-0 Milwaukee run against Sacamento.
