Rookie sensation Brandon Jennings went for a team-high 29 points to go with eight assists and seven boards for the Bucks, who regrouped after suffering back-to-back home losses to Philadelphia and Miami. The Bucks remain in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee center Andrew Bogut (back) returned to action after sitting out Friday's loss to the Heat and finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Zach Randolph led all scorers with 31 points and grabbed 15 rebounds for Memphis, which was coming off a 128-110 loss at Golden State on Wednesday. The Grizzlies have dropped three of five overall. Rudy Gay had 20 points and Mike Conley added 18 points and 10 assists in defeat. With the Memphis loss, Utah, Denver and Dallas all clinched playoff berths. The Grizzlies also fell six games behind San Antonio and Portland for the final two playoff spots in the Western Conference. In the extra period, the lead changed hands a few times before Salmons' jumper put the Bucks up for good at 101-100 with 1:35 to play. After a foul on Randolph, Jennings made both free throws for a three-point cushion with 45.4 seconds remaining. Luke Ridnour made another pair from the stripe to make it a 105-100 game with 14.8 ticks left after the Grizzlies went empty on their next trip. O.J. Mayo gave the visitors hope when he hit a trey, but Ridnour added two more from the line with 10.6 on the clock to essentially seal the win. The Grizzlies led by three heading into the fourth quarter and stretched their advantage to 85-78 on a long jumper by Gay with 6:42 remaining. Milwaukee then went on a 15-4 run over the next several minutes to reclaim the lead. Jennings started it with two straight layups, then finished it off with a floater with 48.3 seconds to go for a 93-89 advantage. Randolph's three-point play made it a one-point game on the Grizzlies' next trip. After Jennings made 1-of-2 from the stripe to make it a two-point game with 12.1 seconds on the clock, Conley was fouled just inside the arc and sank both free throws to tie things at 94 with 2.1 on the clock. Following a Bucks timeout, Salmons had a short baseline jumper blocked by Marc Gasol and the game went into overtime. Randolph paced the Grizzlies with 13 points in the opening quarter, but Milwaukee used a 5-0 run to grab a slim 24-23 lead after 12 minutes. The Bucks' advantage got as high as five in the early stages of the second before Memphis tied things at 31 on Gay's three-pointer with 8 1/2 minutes to play in the half. The lead fluctuated back-and-forth for the rest of the quarter and Jennings' pair of free throws in the final second gave the Bucks a 46-44 edge heading into the locker room. In the third quarter, Milwaukee turned a one-point deficit into an eight-point lead. Ersan Ilyasova's dunk and triple followed by a back-to-back layups from Salmons put the hosts up 68-60 with 3:29 left in the period.

SPORTS BETTING: NFL Football Sportsbook BettingNFL owners, already life's biggest winners, want to try their luck with the lottery.That was the news out of their meetings last week, where team bosses voted unanimously to allow stamping state and local lottery tickets with franchise logos, if, ahem, any governments wanted to do a deal. A shocker: Within days the Pats announced they'd be sponsoring the Massachusetts state lottery, the Skins said they'd slap their sticker on Virginia scratch-offs and the Ravens admitted they were talking to Maryland lottery bosses. In all likelihood, it won't be long before every team is a presenting sponsor of scratch-offs or just plain old pick fives. "The change in policy was approved 32-0," said NFL spokesman Greg Aiello. "So you can expect to see more deals soon." It's a branding opportunity too big for the owners to ignore, and one a couple of dozen baseball franchises have enjoyed for years. The fact the NFL has been slower to act than those slack-brained Seligites is indicative of its complicated relationship with all forms of gambling. Consider this: Last Thursday, as the Pats and the Redskins finalized their new lottery deals, a lawyer representing the NFL argued before Delaware's Supreme Court that the state's newly signed sports betting law should be repealed. The NFL betting is the face of opposition to sports gambling . And as much as it would like to share that responsibility with other leagues, that's not going to happen as long as more than 40% of all money legally wagered on games is bet on football. That's why the Brewers can do a multi-million dollar deal with a local casino, or the Celtics can make their own pact with the Mass lottery, and the response is, "Sweet, let's play." But when the NFL does it the stakes are higher, and everyone from NPR's Frank Deford to the Associated Press to the guys blogging at Deadspin will line up to play gotcha. So I asked Aiello, who surely knew there'd be piling on, how the league can rail against being bait for sports bettors, then allow its franchises to be just that for lotteries, the most insidious and addictive form of gambling around. He emailed me this response: "We are not moral crusaders. NFL personnel are permitted to engage in legal forms of gambling, except for betting on NFL games. We are making a distinction here between the spread of gambling on the outcome of our games and supporting state lottery scratch-off games, that have nothing to do with the outcome of our games." Here's where I should rip him. But, the thing is, he's right. Not to get Obama on you, but this is a complicated, nuanced issue. As much as lotteries are considered a tax on the poor, the NFL isn't a socially obligated government program -- it's just a business. Scratch-off's help the bottom line, sports betting doesn't. Now, it's okay to call the league hypocritical when it releases injury reports, which players have told me only helps bettors … But when it supports other forms of gaming? Big Deal. Now, it's okay to call the league hypocritical when it releases injury reports, which players have told me only helps bettors. And it's okay to mutter something obscene when the league pretends gambling doesn't help drive TV ratings and fan interest and put money in owners' pockets. But when it supports other forms of gaming? Big Deal. The Bears should put an orange "C" on every deck of cards dealt at Harrah's in Joliet; the Eagles should slap their logo on roulette wheels at the Borgata in Atlantic City; the Dolphins should hold training camp at the El San Juan in Puerto Rico.
