Charlie Bell had career highs of 19 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds for his first triple-double, and the Milwaukee Bucks made a franchise-record 18 three-pointers in a 132-110 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night in Milwaukee.

Michael Redd had 28 points for the Bucks, who set season highs in almost every offensive category, scoring 46 points in a third-quarter three-point assault.

Milwaukee finished 18 for 32 from three-point range and set season marks for points, points in a half (74), points in a quarter, field-goal percentage (60%) and assists (36).

The Suns played without Amare Stoudemire, who went back to the bench because of pain in his knee after playing in his first three games since undergoing surgery in October.

Washington 97, Sacramento 84 -- Caron Butler scored 23 points, and the Wizards ended an eight-game losing streak in Sacramento even while playing without Gilbert Arenas.

The Wizards, who won at Arco Arena for the first time since Dec. 19, 1996, were playing their fourth road game in six nights.

Mike Bibby scored 20 points for the Kings, who flopped in the second half of their second straight home defeat after 14 straight wins there.

Arenas, the NBA’s fourth-leading scorer, with 29.1 points per game, came down with an apparent case of flu.

Seattle 98, Memphis 97 -- Ray Allen made an off-balance 19-footer with 0.3 of a second left, and the SuperSonics overcame Pau Gasol’s franchise-record 44 points to end the host Grizzlies’ seven-game winning streak.

Allen led the SuperSonics with 20 points and five assists, one of seven Seattle players in double figures. Rashard Lewis scored 14 before being helped off the court with a leg injury with 3:12 left.

Detroit 97, Dallas 90 -- Chauncey Billups scored eight of his 31 points in the final three minutes at home for the Pistons.

Rasheed Wallace had 21 points and 10 rebounds for Detroit, and Richard Hamilton scored 14 points.

The win avenged Detroit’s worst loss of the season, a 119-82 rout in Dallas on Nov. 19. It also assured the Pistons (56-14) a split of the season series with Dallas (54-17), which could be crucial for determining home-court advantage if the teams meet in the NBA Finals.
