Updated: 2007-11-22 14:45 MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin - Michael Redd scored 26 points and China's Yi Jianlian added 12 points and six rebounds as Milwaukee remained unbeaten at home with a 110-103 triumph Wednesday over the Los Angeles Lakers. Mo Williams added 18 points and nine assists while Charlie Villanueva added 14 points and nine rebounds for the Bucks, now 5-0 in National Basketball Association home games and 6-4 overall. The Bucks trail Central division-leader Detroit by only half a game. Redd powered Milwaukee through the first three quarters even as the Lakers led after every quarter until the Bucks outscored the Lakers 35-23 in the final 12 minutes, snapping a four-game win streak for the California club. Australia's Andrew Bogut scored eight of his 13 points in the fourth quarter after foul trouble kept him off the bench only six minutes in the first half. Lakers star guard Kobe Bryant, seeking his third NBA scoring crown in a row, scored a game-high 27 points while Andrew Bynum added 16 points and 13 rebounds in a losing cause. The Lakers led 80-77 before the Bucks seized the lead for good with an 11-3 run to open the fourth quarter. The visitors rallied but Bogut and Bobby Simmons hit key baskets down the stretch to secure the victory.
