Chicago ? Kirk Hinrich sparked the Bulls on both ends of the floor.

Hinrich scored 26 points, and Ben Gordon scored all 19 of his points in the second half to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 97-91 vctory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.

The Bucks dropped their seventh straight on the road and have not won a game away from the Bradley Center since beating Atlanta on Jan 20.

Hinrich drew the assignment of chasing around Michael Redd, who led the Bucks with 30 points. However, Redd only had two points in the fourth quarter and shot 1-for-9 in the period. He attempted a career-high 34 shots.

“Obviously (he’s) a tough assignment, but at this point in my career I would hope to be playing on both ends of the court no matter who I am guarding,” Hinrich said.

Trailing 86-80 with 5:14 left, Hinrich led the Bulls back by scoring seven straight points in Chicago’s 9-0 run. He hit back-to-back jumpers and then a three to give Chicago a 87-86 lead. The next time down, Luol Deng went up strong on the baseline for a layup making it 89-86.

“If you never done it the way Kirk does it, it’s hard to explain how hard it is to chase some of the game’s best players around two, three, four screens sometimes in the same possession and almost always taller than him, sometimes stronger also, so he does such a good job of it,” said Bulls coach Scott Skiles. “I thought it wore him down a little bit, but he really responded late in the game. I thought overall it was (one) Kirk’s better games.”

T.J. Ford found Andrew Bogut underneath for a basket to cut Chicago’s lead to 89-88 with 1:11 left. Malik Allen answered for Chicago, taking Gordon’s pass for a basket to make it 91-88.

Redd tried to cut into the Chicago lead, but Tyson Chandler blocked his shot. On the other end, Gordon hit a three for Chicago to give it a 94-88 lead with 30.1 seconds left. Bobby Simmons kept the Bucks in the game with a three-point play with 27.2 left, but the Bucks never had a chance to tie it.
