Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 47 points but it was the Phoenix Suns who came out on top in a 125-124 thriller over the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Suns won their fourth match in a row thanks to Devin Booker's 30 points and another 28 from Chris Paul.

Milwaukee, who had won their last five, found themselves eight points down with 2:30 to go but drew level at 124-124 when Antetokounmpo dunked with less than a minute to play.

But Booker shot one of his free throws with 32 seconds to play which turned out to be the difference.

The Dallas Mavericks also won by the narrowest of margins, seeing off the Atlanta Hawks 118-117.

Luka Doncic had 28 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds and Danilo Gallinari missed a jump shot with 0.9 seconds left which would have sealed the win for Atlanta.
