The Phoenix Suns, led by stellar performances from their star players, secured a victory against the Milwaukee Bucks with a final score of 114-106. Devin Booker contributed 32 points, while Kevin Durant added 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Bradley Beal scored 25 points alongside 10 rebounds, with the Suns' Big 3 combining for 85 points. This win brought the Suns to a season-high nine games over .500, with a record of 30-21. The Bucks, under the new coaching of Doc Rivers, suffered their fourth loss in five games, bringing their record under Rivers to 1-4. Despite a strong double-double from Giannis Antetokounmpo, who scored 34 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out 6 assists, the Bucks struggled to maintain leads in recent games.

So the Jazz fall in Phoenix 129-115. Depleted, Utah just didn’t have the talent the Suns have. The Jazz played hard but whenever they got close Phoenix simply created more distance. Utah drops to 26-27. And we move on to golden state on Monday night
