Phoenix Suns too strong for Milwaukee Bucks

The Phoenix Suns come from behind in the second half to clinch a 102-96 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA.

The Phoenix Suns finished strongly to clinch a 102-96 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA, picking up their 21st victory of the season.

The home side made the most of some early turnovers by the Suns to open up a 10-point lead midway through the first half at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

However, Phoenix found their shooting form after the break, converting more than half of their efforts from the floor in the second half to cut Milwaukee's lead to a single point heading into the final 12 minutes.

Markieff Morris, who finished the game as the team's top scorer with 26, gave the Suns the lead early in the fourth, tipping in a rebound, before Marcus Morris added a three-pointer to put the visitors five points up.

Brandon Knight and Giannis Antetokounmpo tried to add some late points for the Bucks, but the hosts made just nine of their 27 shots in the fourth quarter.

The result leaves Milwaukee with defeats in their last four home games, while Phoenix clinched their ninth win in their last 11 outings.
