MILWAUKEE (AP) — Carlos Delfino scored 21 of his 26 points in the second half and made a career-high seven 3-pointers to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 102-78 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers
on Monday night.

Everyone pitched in for the short-handed Bucks, who came in losers of seven of the last eight.

John Salmons added 16 points and tied a career-high with 12 assists for Milwaukee, Brandon Jennings scored 20 points to match his best performance since returning from surgery and Luc Mbah a Moute finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Mbah a Moute did an admirable job trying to slow Clippers’ star Blake Griffin, who still finished with 19 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.

The Clippers are 1-6 on their 11-game, 21-day road trip.
