“Right now we should really be 3-0,” Brandon Jennings said. “We were up at halftime against Charlotte, and we lost a lead. And tonight we were up (24) at half and let a team come back. That is something we really need to focus on, especially going on a West Coast road trip. On the road in hostile environments you have got to be able to contain the lead and take over.”

Jennings led the Bucks with 22 points — 15 of which came in the second half.

The electrifying point guard has scored 22, 24 and 22 points in three games this season.

“He has been very efficient,” Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. “He is doing a good job in the first half of the games of moving the ball around and seeing people and kind of taking his scoring opportunities as they come. And then as the game has gone on he’s gotten a little more aggressive, especially when we’ve struggled a little bit in those stretches.

“That’s what the good players do.”

Andrew Bogut notched 13 points and 15 rebounds for his first double-double of the season.

Milwaukee was up on the Wizards 65-41 at halftime.

Next Game: Monday January 2 at Denver Nuggets, 8 CT.
