Phoenix Suns at Milwaukee Bucks
· National Basketball Association
Bucks set team record for field-goal percentage in 133-123 victory over Suns
The Bucks shot 68.9% (51 of 73) from the floor to set a franchise record for field-goal percentage. The previous record was 66.7% on Dec. 15, 1985, against Sacramento.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers improved his career record to 1,155-816 and tied Phil Jackson for seventh place in NBA history in regular-season wins.
The Suns lost their fourth straight. They were playing without Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Royce O’Neale.
Durant sprained his left ankle Sunday and isn’t expected to be available for this entire three-game trip. Beal has a hamstring injury and last played on March 16. O’Neale is dealing with an illness.
Devin Booker had 39 points and 11 assists for Phoenix. Grayson Allen added 23 points and Collin Gillespie had 18.
Ryan Rollins scored 23 and Brook Lopez had 22 for Milwaukee.
This marked the first time Phoenix’s Mike Budenholzer had coached against Milwaukee at Fiserv Forum since the Bucks fired him two years ago. Budenholzer coached the Bucks from 2018-23 and led the franchise to a title in 2021.
Bucks: Milwaukee moved within three games of fourth-place Indiana and one game of fifth-place Detroit in the East.
