NEWARK, N.J. - Chris Douglas-Roberts ripped his former team for 24 points as the Milwaukee Bucks beat New Jersey 115-92 Saturday. Douglas-Roberts scored 15 of his points in the second half as the Bucks pulled away, ending a three-game losing streak.

Playing without Andrew Bogut, who had pulled down 27 rebounds the night before, the Bucks got contributions from all nine healthy players available. Ersan Ilyasova took over in the middle. He scored 22 points and had 13 rebounds. Corey Maggette had 20.

The Bucks are the worst-shooting team in the NBA, but they were good on 58 percent of their shots against the Nets. Bogut missed the game with a viral infection. The Bucks had lost five of their last six before the easy win over New Jersey.
