After winning three consecutive games and ending the road trip, the Suns, whose confidence had grown, returned home and were challenged by the defending champion Bucks during their four-game winning streak.
In the Suns, Booker played 30+ in two consecutive games, and the team sat on the home field advantage, and Paul + Ayton was also ready to defend the home court for 4 consecutive wins.
On the other hand, on the bucks side, the state of the big three is hot, Budenholzer is lined up, and whether the Bucks can continue the winning streak in this campaign has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game!
However, after 4 quarters of competition, with the excellent performance of Ayton + Paul, the Suns, who played at home, completely suppressed the Bucks in the first half and occupied the initiative of the game.
Coupled with the return of the second half, Bridges + Cameron Johnson felt hot in the third quarter, and the Suns took advantage of the chase to expand the point difference to 20 points in one fell swoop.
Although at the final moment of the final showdown, Alphabet Brother + Monroe began to exert force and joined forces to play a 9-0 counterattack, but the Suns, who were helpless to fully rise, were unstoppable.
In the end, the Suns also defeated the Bucks 131-107 at home, winning four consecutive wins, and also gave the defending champion Bucks a 24-point defeat!
Playing at home in this game, the Suns continued their fiery competitive state, playing a team performance of 7 people scoring in double figures and multi-point blossoming, defeating the defending champions.
In the case of bridges + Crowder + Booker + McGee and other main players, continuing to perform steadily, the core of the team, Paul, and the play of interior pillar Ayton have played a crucial leading role!
Paul lived up to expectations in this game, starting 36 minutes and delivering a big double-double of 17 points, 7 rebounds , 19 assists + 2 steals on 5-of-11 shooting.
Not only in the confrontation with champion defender Holliday, he completely defeated the opponent, but also won both offensive and defensive ends, successfully connecting the suns' entire team attack!
In addition, after giving 19 assists in this game, Paul also became the well-deserved first man in the league this season with two 19+ assists in two games in a single season, and indeed deserved his title of "Point Guard God"!
Of course, the Suns were able to beat the Bucks in this game, and the performance of the team's interior gate Ayton was also great.
Ayton was very efficient, starting 25 minutes, shooting more than 80% of the 12-of-14 shooting, and bombed a game-high 27 points, plus 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
Among them, his heroic performance in the first quarter, 4 shots and 4 bullets, not only helped the Suns to open the situation smoothly, but also once became a difficult existence for the Bucks' big three to solve!
More importantly, throughout the game, Ayton personally did not make a mistake, and it can be said that he played a very efficient and dominating game!
On the other hand, the Bucks' performance in this game, from the inside to the outside, was comprehensively crushed, and finally swallowed a 24-point rout, which obviously needs to be examined.
After all, in the case of Holliday + Middleton playing well and cutting 20+ at the same time, the performance of the alphabet brother in this game, as well as the performance of the two big tigers Connaughton + Jordan Walla, is indeed a bit unsatisfactory!
The alphabet brother was slightly sluggish, starting 29 minutes, 5 of 14 shots felt cold, the outside three-point shot was 3 shots 0 lost the crosshair, and there were also 3 mistakes.
And the two Big Tigers will Connaughton + Jordan Walla is also in no form, only 2 of 14 shots in the whole game, failing to provide the Necessary Firepower and Help for the Bucks in time!
Obviously, in the case of the team's attack and defense at both ends of the situation, in the face of Ayton, who has played an efficient performance, the Bucks generals who played away from home seem to have no choice but to accept the reality of the fiasco!
