Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday made sure the Milwaukee Bucks didn't suffer any setbacks in their three-game gauntlet. The Phoenix Suns had a chance to win the game at the buzzer, but Holiday missed a layup. In the fourth quarter, Holiday and Middleton scored 17 and 16 points, respectively, to help the Bucks outscore the Suns 12-1.
