Apr 1, 2025; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) passes the ball away from Phoenix Suns guard Ryan Dunn (0) in the first quarter at Fiserv Forum. Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 37 points and dished 11 assists to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 133-123 victory over the visiting Phoenix Suns and former head coach Mike Budenholzer on Tuesday.
Ryan Rollins added a career-high 23 points as Milwaukee (41-34) snapped a four-game losing streak. The Bucks also got 22 points from Brook Lopez, 16 from Taurean Prince and 12 from Kyle Kuzma.
Devin Booker amassed 39 points and 11 assists for Phoenix (35-41), which lost its fourth game in a row. Former Buck Grayson Allen added 23 points while Collin Gillespie had 18 and Tyus Jones scored 16. Nick Richards logged 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Milwaukee came out firing in the first quarter, shooting 68.8 percent while going 4-for-7 from deep to take a 31-19 lead.
While the Bucks continued to shoot well in the second, Phoenix exploded on offense, scoring 38 points on 63.2 percent shooting to go into halftime down just 60-57.
Booker led all scorers with 22 in the half, while Antetokounmpo put up 20. Both teams committed more than 10 turnovers but shot better than 50 percent from the field.
The Bucks regained some momentum in the third, thanks in large part to Antetokounmpo, who not only scored 10 points but also dished five assists. Milwaukee led 95-83 going into the fourth.
Phoenix wouldn’t go away. The Suns scored eight straight points to cut their deficit to just six with 7:28 to play on a 3-pointer by Gillespie.
Milwaukee committed four turnovers in the fourth quarter alone and 20 on the night. Phoenix also collected 15 offensive rebounds and finished with a 24-3 edge in second-chance points.
The margin was just four with 1:20 to play after an Allen trey, but a Rollins 3-pointer and dunks from Lopez and Prince sealed the Bucks’ victory.
Milwaukee earned a split of the two-game season series after Phoenix defeated the Bucks eight days earlier.

2025 NFL Power Rankings: Which teams improved the most with the draft?
David Helman NFL Reporter <!--> There’s a fun irony to this time of year. We know the draft is unpredictable.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer: Closers to acquire in deals and ones to move now
After diving deep into the starting pitcher market last week, I’m going to turn my attention to the pool of relievers this time around. Closers tend to deliver their production in clusters, as they are at the whim of the save chances provided by their team. And as we flip the calendar to May on Thursday, it’s time to capitalize on managers who are overreacting to early season trends.[Smarter waivers, better trades, optimized lineups — Yahoo Fantasy Plus unlocks it all]Buy lowJhoan Durán, Minnesota TwinsWith just two saves, Durán has been a massive disappointment. But outside of a couple extra walks, there aren’t any reasons to worry about this fireballer, who continues to record triple-digit radar gun readings. The Twins have provided him with just a pair of save chances, and the rest of the bullpen has combined for one […]
Rizek indica novo destino de Ancelotti após recusa à seleção brasileira: “Aposto”
Ancelotti declinou da proposta feita pela CBF (Angel Martinez/Getty Images) André Rizek não poupou críticas a Carlo Ancelotti sobre a “novela” envolvendo uma transferência para a seleção brasileira. Depois de uma aproximação nos últimos dias, o acerto entre o comandante do Real Madrid e a CBF esfriou, e a conduta do técnico foi questionada pelo apresentador. Em post feito nas redes sociais nesta terça-feira (29), o apresentador definiu Ancelotti como ‘ensaboado’ por ter ‘segurado’ a CBF em novas tratativas, e declinou quando tudo parecia encaminhado. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Falar um negócio pra vocês… O homem é muito ensaboado e a CBF acreditou demais na suposta vontade dele de vir. Depois de dizer que vem, coloca obstáculos… até encerrar tudo hoje. Perdemos tempo, de novo”, disparou Rizek. Falar um negócio pra vocês… O homem é muito ensaboado e a CBF acreditou demais […]

Casagrande não descarta eliminação precoce na Copa do Brasil: “Presa fácil”
Casagrande, em entrevista à ESPN (Reprodução) Casagrande prevê dificuldades para o Corinthians no duelo contra o Novorizontino. Apesar do favorito contra o time que está na Série B, o ex-jogador lembrou o aspecto de fragilidade da equipe alvinegra fora de casa. Neste cenário, como Depay e Garro são baixas no primeiro duelo, o confronto nesta quarta (30) pode complicar o Timão no mata-mata da Copa do Brasil. “O Corinthians, sem o Garro, é uma presa fácil. Não fez nenhuma grande partida neste ano. Sem mais alguns jogadores enfraquece muito mais.”, disse Casão, no UOL News Esporte. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “É um jogo de risco jogar contra o Novorizontino lá (fora de casa).”, acrescentou. Ausência de Memphis Depay Sofrendo uma pancada e deixando o campo diante do Flamengo, Depay vai apenas torcer pelos companheiros no primeiro embate contra o Novorizontino. Mesmo ciente […]
