    The Milwaukee Bucks extended their win streak to 14 games despite Giannis Antetokounmpo not playing due to a thigh contusion. The Phoenix Suns were also without a superstar player, Kevin Durant, who is recovering from a sprained knee. This game also marked the first time that Jae Crowder faced his former team since being traded by them at the deadline. He told reporters that, prior to the game, he asked his Bucks teammates to please get him this win. They were able to do so by the score of 104-101, holding off a late run by the Suns.

    The Milwaukee Bucks Win Despite Poor Shooting

    Milwaukee led for most of the game despite a relatively off night shooting the basketball. The Bucks shot just 28.9% from three while the Suns shot 33.3%. Phoenix also outrebounded the Bucks 55-45. However, Suns’ star Devin Booker was ice cold from the floor himself to start the game, which allowed the Bucks to build a steady lead.

    The Suns stormed back in the fourth quarter, though, taking the lead with about four minutes to play. Timely shooting by Jrue Holiday and Jae Crowder, however, allowed the Bucks to claw back and retake the lead.

    Brook Lopez Continues His Renaissance

    Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez will turn 35 years old soon. One would not think so the way he has been playing. Over his last three games, Lopez is averaging 24.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game. He had yet another fantastic game against the Suns, recording a double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds to go with four blocks.
