| | ROSTER REPORT | PLAYER NOTES:
--G Steve Nash celebrated his 38th birthday in style. Playing back-to-back games and the fourth in five nights, Nash backed up a 24-point, 11-assist effort in Atlanta with 18 points and 11 assists including the game-winning shot with just over five seconds left. Nash led the Suns to a season-high 67 points in the first half with both his shooting and court generalship offering memories of his MVP days.
--F Markieff Morris is still in the rotation, but his effort against the Bucks was disappointing. Morris missed six of seven shots, scored only two points with two rebounds and the Suns were outscored by 17 points in his 20 minutes on the floor.
--G Jared Dudley had one of his best shooting games of the season, hitting seven of nine shots from the field including three of four three-points for 19 points in 28 minutes. Dudley missed Saturday's win over Charlotte with a deep thigh bruise but came back to play in integral roles in the wins over Atlanta and Milwaukee.

| | | NOTES, QUOTES | --It was a night Michael Redd will never forget. After an 11-year career in Milwaukee that began with great moments but ended with a string of serious injuries, Redd returned to the Bradley Center for the first time to face the Bucks. Would there be boos?
Redd said before the game: "I know where I stand with our fan base. I've always been appreciative of the fans, in the good times and the bad times, Milwaukee has great fans. In 11 years, they've seen me grow up and seen me get married, see me have kids. So I have nothing but love."
The affection was returned when the Bucks showed a short video tribute during the first time out and the fans gave Redd, still in warm-ups, a long, warm ovation as he waved back. Then Redd, who has come alive for Phoenix over the last week, kept it going against his old team with 14 points, including a string of eight straight in the second quarter when the Suns built a 17-point halftime lead.
"It was pretty much fun to watch," Suns guard Steve Nash said. "Mike obviously had a huge career here. Trying to be back playing is amazing. For him to come back to Milwaukee under all the things he had to face with his injuries and put on a show like that was exciting for all of us on the bench."
--Who were those guys in the second half? The same Suns team that has had trouble getting out of the 70's in a game on some nights hung 67 points on Milwaukee in the first half, building a 17-point bulge at intermission and reviving memories of the team that would put up 115 points without batting an eye in the mid-2000s.
Despite a long plane flight from Atlanta the night before and playing for the fourth time in five nights, the Suns were not only hitting every shot they put up but they were doing it at the quick pace that coach Alvin Gentry has been pining for over the first six weeks of the season.
It came as fast as it went -- the Suns scored just 40 points in the second half and needed a Steve Nash bail-out to win the game. But it's nice to know that kind of game is still in there somewhere, even if only for a half.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "The one thing we kept saying in the locker room before we walked out for the second half is that if anybody knows (Bucks coach Scott) Skiles' team, it doesn't matter. We could have been up 30, it wouldn't have mattered anyway. They're going to keep playing." -- Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry.

But by then, all the pomp and rhythm of a 67-point first half was long gone, after the Suns blew a 21-point lead it the third quarter and needed a Nash bailout to avoid complete embarrassment.
"I'm sure Vegas looks at that and says, 'Scheduling loss,'" Nash told the Arizona Republic Tuesday. "For us to go from up 21 to down four, that was a pretty memorable win."
In the final analysis, the Suns have their first three-game winning streak of the season and have won four of five games to inch back within spitting distance of the .500 mark. But Tuesday was all about the journey, and Phoenix took two completely different paths for 24 minutes to reach a 107-105 win. Everything they did right in the first half -- especially defensively, was nowhere to be found after intermission.
"It was a great first half -- and a gut-check second half," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. The Suns were finding the open man at an up-tempo pace and that man was knocking down the shot. That gets you 67 points by intermission and plenty of time for intermission bravado.
But an 87-67 lead late in the second half was wiped out by a 27-4 Milwaukee run and the Suns needed one more big shot to make Nash's birthday and Michael Redd's return to two a happy occasion.
The Suns get a well-deserved day off before shooting for four straight at home against Houston on Thursday.
| | | Rockets-Suns Preview | The Phoenix Suns came out flat during a loss to the Houston
Rockets last week. They haven't suffered another defeat since
then.

Association's all-star club is a difficult task.
So
Milwaukee
Bucks guard Brandon Jennings is
preparing for both outcomes when the all-star reserves are named
Thursday night in a TNT telecast.
The 22-year-old Jennings has turned more than a few heads with
his play in the lockout-shortened season. But if he is not one of
the seven players named by Eastern Conference coaches, he will keep
working. If he is named, Jennings already knows what his reaction
will be.

Hawks these days.
After a recently-completed 4-1 road trip, the
Hawks dropped their third straight
home game Monday night, this one a 99-90 defeat at the hands of the
Suns.
The
Hawks (16-7, 8-4 home) have now lost
to the Grizzlies (by 19), 76ers (11) and Suns (nine). Their
four-game homestand ends Wednesday against the Pacers.

about Suns point guard Steve Nash --- and for good reason. Nash
scored a game-high 24 points with 11 assists, better than his
league-leading 9.9 per game.
"He is still one of the better point guards in the league,"
Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "He's
very crafty. He gets the ball to the open man. He's still making
shots."
