MILWAUKEE -- Matthew Dellavedova scored 12 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, helping the Milwaukee Bucks hold off the Brooklyn Nets 112-103 on Saturday.
The Bucks won their fourth consecutive game despite letting a 16-point third-quarter lead slip away.
Milwaukee led 62-46 after a layup by Tony Snell with 8:11 left in the third, but Brooklyn closed the quarter on a 26-13 run to get within 75-72. Consecutive three-pointers by Joe Harris gave the Nets an 82-81 lead with 10:00 to play.

John Henson led Milwaukee with 20 points and added 7 rebounds, Giannis Antetokounmpo had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Jabari Parker added 15 points and Greg Monroe scored 13 points.
Bojan Bogdanovic led Brooklyn with 24 points, while Sean Kilpatrick added 19.
Nets forward Trevor Booker missed the game because of an illness. Anthony Bennett started in his place and had 7 points and 14 rebounds.
Milwaukee and Brooklyn were playing for the second time in three days after the Bucks beat the Nets 111-93 on Thursday night.
The Bucks will face the same team in consecutive games four more times this season, including home-and-homes later this month with the Bulls, Cavaliers and Wizards.
