The Phoenix Suns did what they were supposed to do, even if it was ugly at times. They secured their 30th win of the season with a 114-106 victory over the Bucks.
Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez didn’t suit up for Milwaukee and Khris Middleton went down with an ankle injury early. Despite that, the Bucks gave the Suns a fight and didn’t make it easy.
Ultimately, the balanced attack from Phoenix’s stars was too much for the short-handed Bucks to handle.
