VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) _ Glenn Robinson scored 11 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter as the Milwaukee Bucks won consecutive road games for the first time in more than a month, beating the Vancouver Grizzlies 92-87 on Monday night.

Sam Cassell added 21 points and Ervin Johnson had 10 rebounds for the Bucks, who were coming off Saturday's 101-99 win at Seattle.

Milwaukee has won consecutive road games three times this season, the last time when they beat Orlando and Miami on Dec. 15 and 16.

Bryant Reeves scored 22 and pulled down a season-high 15 rebounds as the Grizzlies, off since Thursday's 108-106 win over New Jersey, blew an opportunity to win three straight for the second time this season and third time in their five-year history.

Overcoming a 14-point, third-quarter deficit, the Bucks went ahead for good when Cassell made it 77-76 with 4:06 left in the fourth quarter, scoring a fastbreak layup, after Reeves turned the ball over.

After Vancouver tied the game 80-80 on a Reeves' put-back with 2:25 remaining, the Bucks responded with a jumper by Robinson and a 3-pointer from Cassell to take an 85-80 lead with 1:26 remaining.

Cassell's shot came seconds after Danny Manning got a hand on Reeves' inbound attempt. The ball then bounced out of bounds off Reeves, giving the Bucks the possession.

The Bucks outscored the Grizzlies 50-37 in the second half, including a game-turning 21-4 run over an 8:02 stretch, spanning the third and fourth quarters.

Closing out the third quarter with an 11-3 run, Milwaukee opened the fourth outscoring the Grizzlies 11-1 to take a 69-68 lead on Tim Thomas' dunk with 8:47 left.

After Mike Bibby sank a 3-pointer with 5:31 left in the third quarter, the Grizzlies hit only one field goal until Dennis Scott sank a 3-point shot with 6:58 left in the fourth quarter.

By that time, the Bucks had turned a 14-point deficit into a 73-72 lead.

Notes: The Grizzlies activated forward Cherokee Parks, who missed 13 games with a groin pull, from the injured list. In his place, Vancouver put forward Antoine Carr (left quad tendinitis) on the injured list. ... Bucks coach George Karl earned his 556th career victory, tying him for 19th on the career list with Del Harris, and one behind Alvin Attles. ... The Grizzlies completed their best month in franchise history, going 6-8 for a .429 winning percentage. Vancouver's previous best came in November 1997 when the team went 7-11 (.389).
