Malik Beasley produced 22 points while Pat Connaughton tallied 12 markers.
It was a tight first half between the two teams despite the Bucks missing Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez in the lineup due to injury. Milwaukee even led Phoenix by halftime. However, Booker shot 16 of his 32 points in the third period to help the Suns take a 79-73 lead.
The Bucks stayed alive with their defensive pressure on the Suns, but buckets from the Phoenix’s Big 3 just kept coming to put some distance between them.
Milwaukee also lost forward Khris Middleton to an ankle sprain less than nine minutes into the game after landing on Durant’s foot on a long jump shot.KEVIN DURANT POSTER ON GIANNIS.
