Bucks set team record for field-goal percentage in 133-123 victory over Suns

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 37 points and the Milwaukee Bucks relied on a team-record shooting performance to snap a four-game skid by winning 133-123 over the slumping and short-handed Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.

The Bucks shot 68.9% (51 of 73) from the floor to set a franchise record for field-goal percentage. The previous record was 66.7% on Dec. 15, 1985, against Sacramento.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers improved his career record to 1,155-816 and tied Phil Jackson for seventh place in NBA history in regular-season wins.

The Suns lost their fourth straight. They were playing without Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Royce O’Neale.

Durant sprained his left ankle Sunday and isn’t expected to be available for this entire three-game trip. Beal has a hamstring injury and last played on March 16. O’Neale is dealing with an illness.
