Wizards win 105-97 over Bucks

WASHINGTON, DC – (AP) Antawn Jamison scored 23 points and rookie Nick Young had a career-high 22 as the Washington Wizards rallied in the fourth quarter for a 105-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

The victory moved Washington, eager to hold onto sixth place in the Eastern Conference, one-and-a-half games ahead of charging Philadelphia.

Michael Redd scored 26 points, Andrew Bogut had 23, and Charlie Villanueva had 24 points and matched a season high with 16 rebounds for the Bucks, who lost for the sixth time in seven games with another lackluster defensive performance.

Milwaukee's opponents are averaging 111 points and shooting better than 50 percent in the last seven games.
