The Suns’ 92-77 victory over Milwaukee extended the Bucks’ 23-game losing streak in Phoenix.
It’s the second-worst active skid in the NBA, behind Golden State’s 25 straight losses in San Antonio. But since the Warriors and Spurs play more often playing in the same conference, the Bucks’ streak is much longer chronologically. Milwaukee last won in Phoenix on Feb. 21, 1987 — a current span of 8,383 days.
Here’s another idea how long that span has gone. The Bucks’ streak has spanned five United States presidents. Nine different Milwaukee coaches have lost in Phoenix since Don Nelson last beat the Suns in 1987. John Lucas, Terry Cummings, Jack Sikma, Paul Pressey and Sidney Moncrief were in the Bucks’ starting lineup for that last victory in Phoenix. Larry Nance, Walter Davis, Mike Sanders, Jay Humphries and Ed Pinckney started for the Suns.
Three of the players who played in last night’s game — Robin Lopez, Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova — were not born the last time the Bucks won in Phoenix.
