Jennings, who joined the team on Sunday finished with 16 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds as the Bucks sent Memphis to its 18th consecutive loss with a 121-103 victory.
The Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo added 20. For Jennings, there was some nervousness in returning to the NBA. However, he proved that he has finally recovered from what some thought was a career-ending left Achilles tendon injury suffered in 2015 when he was playing for Detroit. Spaniard Marc Gasol led the Grizzlies with 17 points.
Russell Westbrook notched his 20th triple-double of the season to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Sacramento Kings 106-101 despite 19 points scored by Bogdan Bogdanovic.
James Harden scored 16 of his 28 points in the third quarter to allow the Rockets to build a huge lead and sail to a 109-93 who dropped in the 10th spot of the West and out of the playoffs.
Finally, the Trail Blazers beat the Heat 115-99 on Monday night for their 10th straight victory. Jusuf Nurkic added 27 points and 16 rebounds for the Blazers, who have the longest current winning streak in the NBA and a two-game lead over Oklahoma City for the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
