PHOENIX — Devin Booker scored 32 points, Kevin Durant added 28 and the Phoenix Suns beat the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks 114-106. The Suns took a 79-73 lead into the fourth quarter and didn’t trail again. Durant threw down a thunderous dunk — while being fouled — and hit the free throw to push Phoenix ahead 93-80 with 8:51 left. It was part of a big final quarter for the 14-time All-star, who hit five straight shots and had 14 points. The Bucks played without star guard Damian Lillard, who was out with a sprained ankle. Giannis Antetokoun­mpo led Milwaukee with 34 points.
