Boracay Island, Philippines – Just two days removed from their loss to the Denver Nuggets, the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks bounced back in a dominant fashion by beating the Phoenix Suns 129-108 on Sunday night (Monday morning, Philippine time) at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

With the victory, Milwaukee fortified its hold on the top spot of the overall team standings with 42 wins against only 7 losses.
Devin Booker topscored for Phoenix with 32 points. DeAndre Ayton and Kelly Oubre, Jr. had double-doubles of 20PTS-14REBS and 15PTS-10REBS, respectively for the Suns, who dropped to 11th place on the Western Conference team standings with a t 20-29 win-loss card.
The Suns will travel to Brooklyn to face the Irving-less Nets on Monday night (Tuesday morning, Philippine time).
