The Milwaukee Bucks ( 11 - 18 ) defeated the Phoenix Suns ( 12 - 17 ) 101 - 95 on Sunday . The Bucks have been playing some bad basketball of late aside from their historic Golden State Warriors victory , but looked good today . Milwaukee really struggled at the free - throw line , but made up for it by shooting over 50 percent from the field . The second half is when the tides really turned , as the Bucks outscored the Suns by 14 over the final 24 minutes . The Bucks had to play this game without Giannis Antetokounmpo and it really did n't effect them as much as expected . Khris Middleton and Michael Carter-Williams stepped up in his absence and put in some great lines . Middleton scored a team - high 26 points and dished out seven assists , while Carter-Williams tallied 20 points , nine rebounds and six assists . This is a frustrating team at times , but when they play the second half defense like they did today , they 're a tough team to beat . The Bucks have a good chance to add to this win when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday for their next game . The Suns really struggled to get their potent offense going in this game and it 's evident through the stats . No player scored more than 18 points and the starters combined for just 52 points . T.J. Warren and Eric Bledsoe both scored a team - high 18 points and went a combined 9 - for - 9 from the free - throw line . The strange thing is that the starters took just 35 shots in the game and committed 12 turnovers . That 's a recipe for disaster and it was a miracle they kept it so close with those stats . Phoenix will look to bounce - back on Monday when they play the Utah Jazz .
