Suns Vs Bucks: Key moments and finishing sequence
Milwaukee closed the game in the final 24 seconds when Ryan Rollins hit a tough floater in the lane with 23. 8 seconds remaining to push the Bucks ahead 107-104, then added a free throw with 9. 7 seconds left to seal the 108-105 result. Rollins finished 10 of 19 from the field and also handed out seven assists. Ousmane Dieng’s short jumper had put the Bucks ahead 102-97 with 2: 21 left in the fourth, and Phoenix’s Devin Booker answered with a 3-pointer while being fouled and converted the free throw to cut the deficit to 102-101, but Booker ended the night with 14 points on 4-of-17 shooting.
Game flow, injuries and standout performances
Milwaukee trailed for much of the first half but produced a 42-point second quarter to take a 57-52 lead into halftime, with Kyle Kuzma scoring 17 points for the Bucks at the break. Kuzma finished with 20 points before leaving the game in the third quarter due to tightness in his right Achilles tendon. For Phoenix, Jalen Green led the Suns with 24 points and Collin Gillespie added 18. The Suns were missing several rotation players: Grayson Allen (knee), Royce O’Neale (knee), Dillon Brooks (hand) and Mark Williams (foot). The Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo for this matchup.
Immediate takeaways
The late sequence highlighted Milwaukee’s ability to find a closer in Rollins when regular-season roles shifted with injuries. Devin Booker’s rough night — he was 4-of-17 from the field — underlined the Suns’ reliance on other scorers; Jalen Green and Collin Gillespie provided offensive support but it was not enough to overcome missing depth. Milwaukee’s win was its third in 12 games, while Phoenix dropped its fifth straight, tightening pressure on the Suns as the calendar moves closer to postseason positioning.
Quick context
Phoenix sits seventh in the Western Conference with the play-in tournament looming, and the Suns’ depth was tested again when their star struggled to find rhythm. Milwaukee’s result came without its usual star available, shifting game plans and minutes across their roster.
What’s next
Milwaukee travels to Los Angeles to play the Clippers on Monday; Phoenix will need to address rotation availability and Devin Booker’s shooting slump in the coming days to stop the five-game slide. The next scheduled matchups and medical updates will be monitored closely as both teams respond to injuries and form.
