On Sunday, the Phoenix Suns suffered an ugly 140-129 away loss to the undermanned Milwaukee Bucks, jeopardizing their playoff chances. Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks’ superstar forward, missed out due to left hamstring tendonopathy.
However, their offense did not stop, as they made a season-high 24 3-pointers, including an record-tying 18 in the first half.

Fortunately for them, they have been healthy at this level of the tournament, notably their ‘Big 3’ of Durant, Booker, and Beal. They are coming off a 107-96 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, during which they displayed a balanced approach with six players scoring at least 13 points.
Playing against a somewhat undermanned Bucks group might improve their chances of winning consecutive games. And finishing the season with a shutout against Milwaukee.
The Bucks, for their part, may be missing Antetokounmpo and Beasley, both starters. However, they remain sturdy, with Damian Lillard leading the charge and All-Star Khris Middleton returning to the lineup after missing almost a month due to an ankle ailment.
