The Milwaukee Bucks were on their way to spoiling Michael Redd’s homecoming and blowing out Steve Nash’s birthday candles early.
But after the Suns blew a 21-point second-half lead, the 38-year-old birthday boy saved the day as he banked home a six-foot runner with five seconds remaining to give the Suns a 107-105 advantage.
