Ryan Rollins has been balling in the past four games for the Milwaukee Bucks but the win was elusive. They finally got one at least, against the visiting Phoenix Suns, and the third year guard was crucial to the victory.

The 2022 44th overall pick scored 23 points as a starter, breaking his previous career high of 20 points which he recorded in home loss to the New York Knicks.
He also added five points, five rebounds, and two steals in 31 minutes of play. He is also responsible for two field goals that fend off the Suns in the last one minute and 30 seconds of the fourth quarter.
This is the fourth time he scored in double digits after going blank in the win against the Sacramento Kings.
Fans loved his performance.

I don’t care who’s healthy Ryan Rollins should play a lot and maybe start for the Bucks regardless. Just an awesome two-way compliment to Giannis.

Milwaukee Bucks’ much needed win
Have the Bucks figured things out? They were in disarray in the past games but against the Suns, things finally clicked.
All five members of the starting unit scored in double digits, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo who scored 37 points, grabbed six rebounds, and had 11 assists, most of which came in the fourth quarter when the Suns were tryin to mount a comeback.

Brook Lopez, who is celebrating his birthday, had 22 points. Kyle Kuzma, who is also finding his stride slowly, chipped in 12 points while Taurean Prince had 16.
The bench also contributed, led by Kevin Porter Jr. who was sent back as a 6th man. He scored nine points while sparingly used Pat Connaughton had eight points.
Next up for them are the eliminated Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Arena on Thursday.
