Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork. Spencer Long Jersey .com) - Khris Middletons prayer was answered, and the Suns were handed another heartbreaking loss. Middleton banked in a 3-pointer as time expired to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 96-94 win in Phoenix on Monday. Zaza Pachulia gave the Bucks an 88-87 lead with 2:42 remaining with a layup, then both teams went scoreless until the final minute. Gerald Green put the Suns back in front with a corner 3-pointer with 41.9 seconds left, and former Sun Jared Dudley restored Milwaukees lead with a triple at the other end. Out of a timeout, Markieff Morris got free for a layup, and again the Bucks stole the lead back at the other end, this time with a Brandon Knight runner. Phoenix then took a timeout to advance the ball. It was inbounded to P.J. Tucker on the low block, and he found Morris near the free throw line for a jumper that gave Phoenix the lead back with 3.9 seconds to play. Milwaukee burned two timeouts before the final possession. Middleton came to the ball near the left sideline and let fly with a contested, off-balance trey that hit the backboard and every part of the rim before falling through. It wasnt pretty, but the guys kept fighting, said Bucks coach Jason Kidd. We found a way to win. Brandon Knight scored 20 points to lead Milwaukee, which overcame the loss of star rookie Jabari Parker to a knee injury to rally to a win. Parker injured his left knee on a drive to the basket early in the third quarter. The No. 2 pick was helped off the court by teammates and was diagnosed with a sprain. As of right now, we dont know anything, Kidd said. Theyll do all the tests (Tuesday) and well be able to report something then. Phoenix lost its sixth straight game in eerily similar fashion to its game against the Clippers on Dec. 8. Blake Griffins game-winning 3 in that one bounced off the front of the rim before sneaking into the basket. Some years, the breaks arent going your way. Obviously, so far this year, they havent, Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek said. Weve got to make our own breaks. Morris had 25 points and Isaiah Thomas gave 20 off the bench. O.J. Mayo opened the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer and Giannis Antetokounmpo split a pair of free throws to get the Bucks within a point. The next three minutes belonged to Thomas. Thomas triple at 9:41 started a stretch of 11 of the next 13 points in the game scored by the diminutive guard. He followed his 3 with a layup, then canned two more contested shots from behind the arc out of a timeout to make it 83-73 in Phoenixs favor. Milwaukee scored the next nine points, however, to make it a game. Morris scored 10 points in the first quarter to help the Suns to a 26-14 lead. They held a 53-44 advantage at halftime and 72-67 lead through three. Game Notes The Bucks had lost three straight road games ...

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hey Kerry, I was at the Jets-Oilers game on Tuesday night and noticed quite a bit of jersey tucking - most notably Bryan Little and Tobias Enstrom. No penalties were called and as far as I know, no warnings were given. (there might have been?) any thoughts or insight on to how this will be called during the season? Thanks,Will BrigantiEdmonton Will: The "jersey tucking" mandate is designed to comply with Rule 9—Equipment and more specifically 9.5—Protective Equipment: "All protective equipment, except gloves, headgear, and goaltenders leg guards must be worn under the uniform. Should it be brought to the attention of the Referee that a player is wearing, for example, an elbow pad that is not covered by his jersey, he shall instruct the player to cover up the pad and a second violation by the same player would result in a minor penalty being assessed." When a player tucks his jersey into the top of his pants some portion of the protective padding becomes exposed (worn outside the uniform) in violation of this rule. From a safety perspective the gap created by a tucked jersey exposes a portion of the players upper body and can act as a catchall for flying pucks and sticks to the point of causing an unnecessary injury. Aesthetically, it also violates rule 9.1 which provides that all players of each team shall be dressed uniformly with approved design and color of their helmets, sweaters, short pants, stockings and skates. The fact of the matter (beyond uniformity) is it just doesnt play well in the building or on TV. This also translates to the players hockey pants that are ripped, torn, cut or altered (open zippers inside thigh) for comfort or otherwise that could expose a bare leg or sock in the thigh area. I witnessed Walt Tkaczuk and other players that had huge thighs sometimes utilize zippers in the inside of their pants that would be half-zipped from the bottom for comfort. I thought at the time it made them vulnerable in this area but also as the pant continued to wear and curl just how poorly it looked aesthetically. Whenever a rule like this was handed to us for enforcement I consiidered it a "babysitting" assignment for me and my colleagues. Mason Foster Jersey. This ranged from telling players how they could dress, to color of tape and size of the knob on the end of a goalies stick to water bottles being placed back into the sleeve on top of the net. As insignificant as they seem these rules still must be enforced. There were far too many times to count that I had to advise a player to cover his elbow pad with his jersey. Super heavyweight Dave Brown (and super guy) used a very tight jersey sleeve from the top of his elbow down to a shortened cuff. This prevented much grab-hold by his opponents but also resulted in the lower part of his elbow pad to become exposed. Every time I asked Brownie to cover his elbow pad he complied without a fuss; albeit took some work to get it stretched for proper coverage. The Officials are instructed to enforce the "sweater tuck" when they notice it as follows: If a player comes onto the ice tucked in, he is warned and must comply (fix it immediately). Should it occur to the same player in that game there is no further warning and a minor penalty for delay of game results; following the assessment of the minor penalty should he return to the ice without making the necessary change he would be assessed a misconduct penalty; should this happen a third time, the player shall be assessed a game misconduct penalty (rule 9.5). It is also important for us to know that the Referees were reminded that sometimes the sweater might become tucked just through normal movement in the action of a game. This is not a violation. If however, it were to become the norm with the same player (for example one who comes onto the ice un-tucked but during the course of play always seems to end up with his sweater tucked) the Referees are to notify the League office. Hockey Ops personnel would then follow-up with the team equipment manager to ensure that the jersey is not too short for the player and perhaps needs to be altered. This may have been what took place with Bryan Little and Tobias Enstrom in the game you observed Will. If by chance the League office was unaware of these players sweaters frequently getting tucked your question here just might have raised a red-flag! Great job of "babysitting" Will.
