The Phoenix Suns shocked the basketball world on Monday night, as they were able to record another surprise victory against the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks, 114-105.
It was definitely a memorable evening for the struggling Suns, and one of the highlight plays that stood out in the contest was when Phoenix big man Richaun Holmes finished a fast break with a thunderous windmill jam:

The play went down minutes into the second quarter, and with the Bucks holding a big lead against the home team. However, it proved to be a statement slam, as Holmes and the Suns decided that this was going to be their evening.
Phoenix showed no fear in this David versus Goliath clash, and true enough, their nothing-to-lose, gung-ho attitude paid off against the Bucks, who were absolutely caught off guard by the Suns' resiliency. Not even Giannis Antetokounmpo's 21-point, 13-rebound, and six-assist performance was enough to fend off a determined Suns side.
For his part, Richaun Holmes played 14 minutes in this one, scoring only two points on a miserable 1-of-7 shooting. Nonetheless, his only basket on the evening was definitely one to remember.
Unquestionably, this has been yet another miserable season in Phoenix. However, defeating the league-best Bucks twice is definitely something to be extremely proud of, and maybe it will be something to build on.
