Bogut does it again

Australian centre Andrew Bogut has racked up yet another double-double for Milwaukee as the Bucks claimed a double-overtime 114-108 victory against Sacramento.

Bogut, who was recently named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, produced his 35th double-double for the season as he played a crucial role in the victory with 21 points and an equal team-high 11 rebounds.

The former No.1 draft pick also executed two steals and an equal game-high two blocks.

Bogut's first-year team-mate Brandon Jennings displayed his enormous talent once again by turning in a match-winning performance that consisted of 35 points, eight assists and five rebounds.

The result consolidated Milwaukee's place in fifth spot in the East, two-and-a-half games ahead of Charlotte, and it is now a step closer towards its first playoffs appearance since 2006.

The win was also the Bucks' 13th from their past 15 matches.

Cleveland star LeBron James became the youngest player in NBA history to score 15,000 career points as the Cavaliers defeated the Chicago Bulls 92-85.

James shaved around two years off the previous record held by Kobe Bryant as he chipped in with 29 points to help the Cavs to their 12th win in 13 games.

The San Antonio Spurs trounced the Golden State Warriors 147-116, with Manu Ginobili scoring 23 points and Richard Jefferson 21 for the victors.

In Indianapolis, Danny Granger poured in 29 points as the Indiana Pacers defeated the Detroit Pistons 106-102. Rodney Stuckey led the Pistons with 25 points.

Joe Johnson hit 18 points, including the game-winning basket in overtime, as the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 93-92, while Paul Pierce scored 26 points as the Boston Celtics beat the Houston Rockets 94-87.

Toney Douglas spearheaded a fourth-quarter New York charge as the Knicks rallied for a 92-88 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Douglas scored 14 of his 22 points in the final period for the Knicks, who also benefited to the tune of 25 points from Danilo Gallinari.

Kevin Durant scored 31 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder posted a 115-89 win over the Toronto Raptors.

Amare Stoudemire scored a season-high 44 points as the Phoenix Suns defeated the Utah Jazz 110-100, while Brandon Roy hit the winning basket in the final second as the Portland Trail Blazers squeaked a 76-74 triumph over the Washington Wizards.

Bryant had 22 points and 13 assists for the Los Angeles Lakers in a 104-96 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves who have now lost 12 in a row.
