MILWAUKEE -- Dwyane Wades return to the lineup wasnt nearly enough for Miami. Brandon Jennings scored 25 points and Mike Dunleavy had 13 of his 18 in the fourth quarter as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Heat 104-85 on Saturday night. Wade was back after serving a one-game suspension for flailing his leg and making contact with guard Ramon Sessions groin during the Heats 105-92 victory over Charlotte on Wednesday. Wade sat out Miamis 109-99 loss to Detroit on Friday night, which snapped the Heats six-game winning streak. "Obviously, the last 48 hours has not gone the way we wanted it to," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We dont want to make any excuses about it. Milwaukee kicked our butt. They were the better team tonight. We will gather ourselves, get to Orlando and start to work on it." Wade had 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting, four assists, six rebounds and three turnovers. LeBron James scored 26 as Miami failed to reach 100 points for just the third time in 28 games. "Its going to take time," Wade said. "We go through this every year. Its a part of the journey. You have to have these moments throughout the season. To win later in the year, you have something to pull from." The Bucks improved to 16-12, their best 28-game start since opening the 2005-06 season 17-11. Miami (20-8) fell to 6-6 on the road. Wade said the Heat would love to be undefeated on the road, but that isnt going to happen. "In the bigger picture, you have to go through these tough moments and have to figure it out as a team," he said. "Thats what were doing right now." Luc Richard Mbah a Moute scored 19 points for the Bucks, and Larry Sanders had 16 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. Monta Ellis added 14 points as Milwaukee avenged a 113-106 overtime loss to the Heat in Miami on Nov. 21. Dunleavy also had nine rebounds, six assists and three steals for the Bucks, who outscored Miami 35-14 in the fourth. After Jennings hit a 3-pointer, Miami called a timeout and removed Wade, James and Chris Bosh with the Bucks ahead 100-79 with 3:13 to play. That was Milwaukees biggest lead and it didnt slip below 17 the rest of the way. Bosh had 12 points and 16 rebounds for the Heat, who came in averaging 103.4 points a game while the Bucks were at 95.6. It got chippy late in the game with Milwaukee pulling away. After Wade turned the ball over, Jennings picked it up and raced down the court. Mario Chalmers, trailing the play, caught up with Jennings and then slowed him down by wrapping his right arm around Jennings neck. As momentum carried Chalmers toward the baseline, Jennings followed after him, glaring all the way. Chalmers was called for a flagrant foul. Jennings made both free throws and Milwaukee retained the ball. Moments later, Mbah a Moute scored and the Bucks led 92-76. The Bucks regained their shooting touch and the lead with a 16-0 spurt that bridged the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth. Mbah a Moute capped the surge with a 3 that gave Milwaukee an 84-75 lead. When Sanders dunked and then spun around James on the baseline for a layup, Milwaukee led 88-76 with 6:03 left. Miamis defence limited the Bucks shooting percentage, but turnovers were too much to overcome. "They shot 40 per cent from the floor, but we turned the ball over 20-plus times and they got over 20-plus points off those turnovers," James said. "Thats not going to be winning basketball." James had a team-high six turnovers out of the 21 that led to 25 points for Milwaukee. The Heat shot 43.3 per cent (33 of 76). "I had six turnovers and I cant stand when I turn the ball over," James said. "When youre on the road against a team that is sound defensively, you cant give them extra possessions because theyre going to make you pay." James led the way as Miami erased a 15-point deficit, outscoring the Bucks 27-13 in the third to take a 71-69 lead into the fourth. James scored 14 points in that quarter while Milwaukee missed 17 of its first 19 shots. "The second half we came out a little stagnant," Dunleavy said. "We stopped pushing the ball and getting out in transition." Fortunately for the Bucks, they got going late in the third and kept it up all through the fourth. "A few minutes to go in the third, we were moving the ball up and down, getting some stops," Dunleavy said. "Just kept going, building on the lead." After leading 56-44 at halftime, Milwaukee missed its first 12 shots in the second half, six of them by Ellis, while the Heat pulled to 56-55. Jennings hit a 14-foot jumper to snap the streak, but James hit a 3 to tie the game and a jumper that gave Miami its first lead, 60-58. "Then we came out to start the third and missed a couple layups and some shots, but also just kind of started walking up and down the floor," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "Thats really not our game." Jennings had 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting, six assists and three steals in the first half. NOTES: Miami F Udonis Haslem missed the game.

NAPLES, Fla. -- Kenny Perry and Sean OHair birdied five of the last six holes to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout on Sunday. The 52-year-old Perry became the oldest player to win the Shootout, and also won for the third time with a different partner. He won with John Huston in 2005 and Scott Hoch in 2008. Perry joins Steve Elkington, Fred Couples, Brad Faxon and Scott McCarron with three Shootout wins; Elkington and Couples also won with three different partners. "All three have been different," Perry said of his Shootout victories. "John and I were pretty even partners, and then the year Scott and I won, I played fantastic that week. ... This year, my roles have been reversed, and I was complementing Sean." "I think that was kind of the best thing about this was just we had a ton of fun, just like being a kid enjoying what youre doing," OHair said. Rory Sabbatini and Charles Howell III made a charge on the back nine that included an eagle on a par-4 but finished one stroke back at 30-under 186. They had a 15-under 57 in the scramble format in the final round on the Gold Course at Tiburon Golf Club. "We played really well and gave ourselves a lot of opportunities," Sabbatini said. "We pput a good number up there and thats all we can really do.dddddddddddd We had a lot of fun and Charles hit the ball fantastically." Jason Dufner and Vijay Singh finished third at 28 under. Perry and OHair became the seventh second-round leaders to go on to win the tournament in the last 12 years. While other teams were making charges at them, and sometimes briefly catching them, they had fewer holes left to play than Perry and OHair. "I knew they were going to probably catch up to us at some point, but I knew we had holes to catch back up to them," Perry said. "You cant really get too far ahead of yourself out there in that field. You just kind of play each hole." Stewart Cink and Carl Pettersson, first-round leaders Davis Love III and Brandt Snedeker, and 2009 champions Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker were another shot back in a tie for fourth. Love and Snedeker could never get going. "We put the ball in the fairway all day, but never really got close into the greens," Love said. "We were 15 to 30 feet all day today, and we werent as sharp this weekend as we were Friday." Perry and OHair led by two shots going into the final round. They will split $750,000 of the $3 million purse. ' ' '
