CHARLOTTE, N.C. - After twice blowing leads in losses to the Charlotte Hornets earlier this season, Brandon Knight did his part to make sure it didnt happen again.Knight scored 18 points, including a layup to force overtime, and the Milwaukee Bucks pulled away in the extra period to beat the Hornets 104-94 on Monday.Jared Dudley scored 17 points, Giannis Antetokounm had 16, Zaza Pachulia had 15, O.J. Mayo had 13 and John Henson added 11 for the Bucks (16-16), who snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Hornets dating back to the 2011-2012 season.Included in that streak were two close games this season — a 108-106 overtime loss Oct. 29, and a 108-101 loss on Dec. 23 — where Milwaukee held the lead, only to allow the Hornets (10-22) to come back.We just have to do better once we get up a lead like that, Knight said. Us players have to do a better job on the court, just being better in those situations. Not just playing to stay up 20, but playing to continue to win and make the right plays.Mondays game nearly became a repeat — behind Kemba Walkers 28 points, Gerald Hendersons 19, Michael Kidd-Gilchrists 10 —Charlotte fought back from a 21-point deficit in the first half.Walkers layup with 54.5 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter gave the Hornets an 83-81 lead, but Knight followed up his own blocked shot for a layup with 16 seconds left to tie the score and force overtime.We had a big lead offensively, but defensively we started to slip a little bit, Bucks coach Jason Kidd said. We got some great looks that just did not play out, but our guys just kept their composure.Milwaukee then pulled ahead for good on Hensons three-point play with 3:51 left in overtime, and the Bucks would lead by as many as 13 points in the extra period.Charlotte looked to be on its way to an easy victory over the Bucks early in the game, going up 14-6 on Hendersons 3-pointer with 7:29 remaining in the first quarter.But the Hornets went cold, missing 16 straight shots. That allowed Milwaukee to close out the quarter with a 19-4 run, and take a 25-18 lead.Charlotte hit another cold spell, going 1 of 9 over the first six minutes of the second quarter, which allowed the Bucks to take their first double-digit lead. Milwaukee took its biggest lead, 43-22, on Knights steal-and-layup with 3:19 remaining.We were missing shots, got our heads down and got a little frustrated out there, Walker said. We need to be more consistent in our play. One game we play well, the next we dont. That cant happen. We cant get away from the things we do well.___TIP-INSBucks: Won at Charlottes Time Warner Cable Arena for the first time since March 23, 2012, losing four straight games before Mondays victory. .

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The last time the Toronto Blue Jays won a series at Tropicana Field was back in 2007 and Dioner Navarro was the catcher for the losing Tampa Bay Rays. Now he helped the Blue Jays clinch their first series victory since then, homering for the second straight game as Toronto won 7-4 on Wednesday night. "Better later than never, right?" Navarro said after spotting the Blue Jays an early 2-0 lead with a two-run homer off Chris Archer. They went to win their fourth straight game. By winning the first two games of the three-game series, the Blue Jays clinched their first series victory at Tropicana Field since April 6-8, 2007, breaking a string of 21 straight non-winning series here. They had lost 17 consecutive road series against the Rays (including one in Orlando) before splitting a four-game series on May 6-9, 2013. "For one series we were able to get the monkey off our back," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "Now weve got to get greedy and go out and win that one tomorrow, come up with a great series." Edwin Encarnacion also homered for Toronto, and Adam Lind had four straight hits and scored twice. Encarnacions 29th homer completed a three-run run fifth inning off Archer (8-8) that gave Toronto a 6-0 lead. Marcus Stroman pitched five shutout innings before giving up two runs on four hits in the sixth. Stroman (9-5) gave up seven hits and two runs in six innings, winning his second straight start. "Were starting to put it together," he said. "The offence and the confidence have been there all year. Its just starting to finally click, I feel. Aaron Saanchez pitched the ninth for his second save.dddddddddddd Archer (8-8) gave up six runs in six innings and yielded 10 hits for the second straight time. "My job is to get people out and I didnt do a good job of that, didnt execute the pitches," he said. "Both (homers) I had two strikes on. Didnt execute, period." Evan Longoria drove in Tampa Bays first run with a two-out single in the sixth, then hit his 18th home run off Dustin McGowan in the eighth.
