Suns can't handle Bucks' physical defense in copycat loss

MILWAUKEE – For whatever reason, the Milwaukee Bucks bring out the worst in the Phoenix Suns.

That was the case in November when the Bucks, without All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, came into Phoenix, forced 29 turnovers, held Devin Booker in check and left with a 113-107 victory.

Fast forward to Monday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

The Bucks were again without Antetokounmpo, out with right knee soreness. Then, in the mid-afternoon, news broke that Milwaukee had fired head coach Jason Kidd. It seemed perfect timing for Phoenix to secure a second straight road win.
