MILWAUKEE -- Giannis Antetokounmpo told his Milwaukee Bucks teammates they were fighting for their lives.
They responded by shooting for the highest single-game percentage by any team this century.
Milwaukee snapped a four-game skid by shooting a franchise-record 68.9% (51-of-74) from the floor in a 133-123 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. No team had shot for that high a percentage in a game since March 13, 1998, when the LA Clippers shot 69.3% (61-of-88) in a 152-120 triumph over the Toronto Raptors.
