MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brandon Jennings and Earl Boykins each scored 18 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 110-90 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

Boykins had all of his points in the first half, then Jennings scored 14 in the third quarter as Milwaukee enjoyed its second blowout in two days, thanks to 55.1 percent shooting.

The Bucks, who won 95-76 on Tuesday at Washington, have won back-to-back games for the first time since Jan. 28-29.

Samardo Samuels scored 11 of his 15 points in the first quarter for Cleveland, which lost for the fifth time in six games. The Cavaliers, 4-28 on the road, also 13 points from Daniel Gibson.

MILWAUKEE — Phoenix Suns guard Vince Carter is sitting out against the Milwaukee Bucks because of dizziness following a collision with teammate Channing Frye.

Carter and Frye collided in the third quarter of Phoenix’s 115-103 loss to Boston on Wednesday night.

Acquired from Orlando in a five-player trade in December, Carter is averaging 14.1 points and 4.2 rebounds in 52 games this season, his 13th in the NBA.

The Suns entered Friday night’s game in ninth place in the Western Conference, 1½ games out of the final playoff spot.
