QUOTABLE

Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers after their win over the Phoenix Suns: "Our whole thing, I think they took 50 threes against us last time, and you know what, it was 39 tonight. Beating them by one in the three-point game is the difference in the game with them because they don’t like shooting twos, they want to shoot threes, and I thought we did a great job of defending the line tonight."
