The new Milwaukee Bucks without their #2 2014 Overall Pick Jabari Parker has been putting in work through now game #36 of 82. They ran into the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday Night and of course those Suns Guards and one if not both of the Morris Twins were a factor!

The Bucks were up 44-43 at the break and slowed down the game in throughout its entirety controlling the all important "Pace". After three it was Bucks 72-71 with both teams combining for some 36 turnovers. Suns PG Isaiah Thomas led the Suns with 18 after three and the Bucks "Knight Rider" pacing the game with 24 points. He would cool off in the 4th as would Markieff Morris who had 16 of his team-high 26 in the first three frames.

With six and a half minutes remaining in the 4th the Suns would close on a 20-16 run as Markieff would score five of his 26 in that span. The Bucks went stone-cold in the 4th as they shot 3 for 20 from deep!

Suns Guards Goran Dragic (16 pts 6 rebs), Eric Bledsoe (10 pts 10 asst 6 rebs) and Isaiah Thomas (19 pts) were the difference for the Suns as they are on most nights when the Suns hit the win column!  Suns move to 21-16 and 3rd in the Pacific.

The Bucks "Greek Freak" Giannis Antetokounmpo added 16 points and grabbed a dozen boards to go with Knight Rider's team-high 26. Kris Middleton and John Henson both add 13 apiece. Bucks fall back to .500 at 18-18.
