Jennings, who scored 18 third-quarter points in his last game, scored 16 straight during the third on Tuesday, including four straight 3-pointers that gave the Bucks an 85-56 advantage. Mike Dunleavy added 17 points off the bench for Milwaukee, which has won five of its last six.
Rookie Andre Drummond had 18 points and a season-high 18 rebounds for the Pistons, who had 21 turnovers, compared to just 10 for the Bucks. Greg Monroe chipped in 14 points and eight boards.
