It has been a while since the Milwaukee Bucks have won a game, and facing off against the bottom-rung Phoenix Suns on the last stop of a three game road trip, the team was in dire need of a victory. As it happens, the Bucks can beat a bad team, and that’s exactly what happened in Saturday’s 137-112 blowout against Phoenix.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks’ winning effort with 30 points (12/20 FG) / 12 rebounds / 6 assists / 4 blocks, and a game-high +34 on the night. Jabari Parker was slightly quieter (18 points / 9 rebounds), but had a number of impressive baskets at the rim, and the Bucks’ supporting cast showed up in full-force tonight (Mirza Teletovic, 19 points; John Henson, 15 points; Greg Monroe, 13 points; Malcolm Brogdon, 13 points).
