MILWAUKEE, March 12 (Ticker) -- Michael Redd scored 21 points in 28 minutes off the bench and Ray Allen added 20 before leaving after three quarters as the Milwaukee Bucks crushed the hapless Chicago Bulls, 110-81.

Anthony Mason and Sam Cassell each chipped in 19 points for the Bucks, who put together a 24-9 run to end the third quarter with an 87-59 lead.

"They were getting everything out there, it was like a cookout," Bulls forward Charles Oakley said. "Everything ...barbecue, chicken, wing dings, shrimp cocktail, chips, dip, potato salad. They had a party and we had to watch."

Milwaukee's second win in five games left it percentage points behind Detroit (35-26) for first place in the Central Division. The Bucks (36-27) host Detroit on Saturday.

"We're beginning to develop a good rivalry with them (Detroit), we're going to come out fighting for that one," Bucks forward Glenn Robinson said.

Robinson, who finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds and six assists after a quiet first half, netted eight points in the decisive burst.

"We're having a good year and we need to turn it into a great year. We need to pick up this building," Bucks coach George Karl said.

Jalen Rose scored 14 points and Eddy Curry added 12 for Chicago, which has lost seven straight and eight in a row in Milwaukee.

"Nobody played well, it was a team loss and a team abomination," said Bulls coach Bill Cartwright. "We just need to strap it up and make it better before we head to Texas (to face San Antonio Thursday)."

Milwaukee committed just eight turnovers and enjoyed a 49-36 advantage on the boards. The Bucks shot 48 percent (42-of-87) from the field and hit 7-of-19 from 3-point range.

Chicago held to 13 points in the third quarter and 35 in the second half, shot just 41 percent (31-of-76) from the floor.

The Bulls held a 43-38 second-quarter lead after Trenton Hassell's six-footer with 3:41 remaining. But Milwaukee closed out the period with a 10-3 run for a 53-46 halftime edge and led thereafter.
