Nets 113, Bucks 111 (OT): Joe Johnson forced overtime with a 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter and then won it with a long jumper as time expired as host Brooklyn snapped a 13-game losing streak to Milwaukee.
The Nets also extended their overtime winning streak to 10 games, doing so in dramatic fashion. Johnson, who had 24 points, buried a 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds left in the fourth to knot it at 105 and then hit a fadeaway from 15 feet out to end a wild affair.
Deron Williams and Brook Lopez scored 19 points apiece for Brooklyn. Brandon Jennings led the Bucks with 34, including 15 in the third quarter, as Milwaukee turned a 10-point halftime deficit into a one-point lead going into the fourth.
Jennings' two free throws with 6.7 seconds left in regulation put the Bucks up 105-102, but Williams found Johnson curling through traffic to bury the game-tying shot with 1.3 ticks remaining. Keith Bogans opened the extra session with another 3 as the Nets took a 108-105 lead.
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had four points in a 6-0 Bucks run before Bogans hit another from beyond the arc to forge a 111-111 tie with a minute left. The teams would exchange misses before Johnson got another chance, hitting the game-winner to give Brooklyn its third straight victory.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Williams returned from a two-game layoff to rest his sore ankles. ... Bucks C Larry Sanders returned from a back injury that forced him to miss four games. He had 14 points, eight rebounds and six blocks. ... The teams turn around and play in Milwaukee on Wednesday night.
