The struggling Phoenix Suns stole one away from the Milwaukee Bucks in their own home Friday night.
It all went down to the game's final play, and Jamal Crawford did not fail his team. He gave the Suns a 116-114 won via a clutch jumper with 0.8 seconds left before the buzzer.
Right before the shot, Crawford did a magnificent crossover per BleacherReport.

The Suns lay at the bottom of the standings in the Western Conference with a 4-14 record. They entered this matchup without a win on the road, and had to take on the might of the Bucks, who are currently second in the Eastern Conference.
Crawford went on to score 11 points and grabbed three rebounds in this win. Fourth-year man Devin Booker led the Suns with 29 points and seven assists. T.J. Warren and DeAndre Ayton added 19 and 17 points, respectively.
A 19-season veteran in the NBA, Crawford earned the distinction of having a 50-point game for three different teams. He currently is the third oldest player still active behind only Vince Carter and Dirk Nowitzki.
This season at 38 years old, Crawford is averaging 5.3 points per game which is his lowest since his rookie season.
For his career he has played for eight teams, and did not last more than five seasons with them. Crawford is averaging 14.9 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.3 rebounds per game for his career.
Currently he is the last player still active from the 2000 NBA Draft.
