Ersan's 20 points not enough for Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks’ Turkish forward Ersan İlyasova led his team with 20 points against San Antonio Spurs Monday, but it was not enough to prevent a loss.

Tim Duncan had 24 points and 12 rebounds as the Spurs halted the Bucks' three-game winning streak with a 112-98 victory.

Matt Bonner had 23 points off the bench and the Spurs won consecutive games for only the second time this season. They also finally took advantage of a big night from Duncan, having previously been 0-4 when the All-Star scored 20 or more.

Brandon Jennings scored 12 for the Bucks, held well below his rookie-leading average of 25.3 points per game.

At Memphis, Tennessee, Rudy Gay scored 24 points and O.J. Mayo added 20 as Memphis Grizzlies sent Sacramento Kings 116-105 to its fourth straight loss.

Marc Gasol finished with 18 points and four blocks for Memphis, which won for the fourth time in the last five games. Zach Randolph had 16 and Mike Conley added 11 points and seven assists.

Rookie Tyreke Evans led the Kings with 28 points, connecting on 10-of-18 from the field, and Sergio Rodriguez had 16 points and seven assists. Omri Casspi, the rookie from Israel, scored 15 and Donte Greene had 11.

At Portland, Oregon, Greg Oden tied a career high with 24 points and LaMarcus Aldridge also had 24 to help Portland Trail Blazers beat Chicago Bulls 122-98.

Oden, the first pick of the 2007 NBA draft, missed one of his eight shots from the field and added 12 rebounds. Aldridge pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds.

The Blazers had five players score in double figures. Brandon Roy had 18 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, while Andre Miller scored 16 and Rudy Fernandez 13.

Luol Deng scored 25 points and John Salmons added 22 for the Bulls.

At Los Angeles, Al Thornton scored 31 points and Baron Davis made a clinching layup with 8.5 seconds remaining after missing his first nine shots to help the Los Angeles Clippers extend Minnesota Timberwolves's losing streak to 13 games with a 91-87 victory.

Davis' streak of 468 consecutive regular-season games with at least one field goal was in jeopardy until he drove the lane for a layup after dribbling the ball for at least 10 seconds. He finished with two points and six assists in 23 minutes.

The last time the 11-year veteran point guard failed to make a field goal was Feb. 25, 2002 - against the Timberwolves - when he played 12 minutes for the Charlotte Hornets and missed both shots before leaving after one quarter with a bruised chest.
