Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks – Feb. 10th, 2022
Seven months after suffering the ultimate heartbreak against them, the Suns waxed the Milwaukee Bucks in their first rematch since the NBA Finals.
The Bucks actually carved out a three point lead after the first period. However, they would get no further than that, as the Suns dismantled them during the next three quarters.
Despite an off-night for Booker, Phoenix was flying on offense with Paul running the show, finishing with a season-high 19 assists. Ayton came through with 27 points while shooting 12-14 from the field. Cameron Johnson and Bridges followed with impressive shooting nights as well.

That all allowed the Suns to outscore the Bucks by a combined 23 points during the second and third quarters. Phoenix eventually won the game by 24 points, sealing the deal on arguably their biggest statement win of the season.
After losing four straight to Milwaukee less than a year ago, Phoenix had them down on the mat despite a rough outing from their best player. As far as regular season games go, you cannot do much better than that.
