MILWAUKEE – Marquese Chriss back-pedaled. He chewed on his mouth guard. Slapped hands with teammate T.J. Warren. A section of Bucks fans chanted his name, "Marquese! Marquese!"
Down one with 30 seconds left, Chriss missed two free throws, a key moment in Milwaukee's 100-96 win over the Suns on Sunday afternoon at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
After a timeout, the Suns needed a stop. Chriss, matched up against Giannis Antetokounmpo. As the versatile All-Star forward dribbled on the perimeter, running seconds off the clock, Chriss crouched in a defensive position. Antetokounmpo dished to Malcolm Brogdon, who found Tony Snell in the corner.
