Turnovers were what caused trouble for the Bucks in the early going of this one, as they coughed the ball up seven times in the opening frame. That’d be part of what helped Phoenix capture a 33-30 advantage going into the second.
The Suns would open up their lead by as much as ten in the second quarter, but the Bucks would answer nicely. A 3-pointer from Khris Middleton to close out the period sliced Phoenix’s lead to just three going into halftime.
