Steve Nash finished with 30 points and 11 assists as Phoenix beat Milwaukee 105-101 on Monday, extending their win streak over the Bucks at home to 22 games.
Milwaukee was missing coach Scott Skiles, who was hospitalized prior to the game for an irregular heartbeat. The Bucks also learned Monday that high-scoring guard Michael Redd's knee injury would sideline him for the remainder of the season.
Jim Boylan, who coached the Bucks, said the Skiles was resting well.
"He's fine," Boylan said. "He'll be joining us in Portland. He has a little arrhythmia."
Amare Stoudemire had 23 points and 10 rebounds for Phoenix and Jason Richardson also scored 23.
Hakim Warrick led Milwaukee with 21 points and 10 rebounds and Luke Ridnour finished with 17 points. Rookie Brandon Jennings added 14 points and Andrew Bogut scored 13 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
The Bucks have not beaten the Phoenix at home since 1987.
Redd has torn ligaments in his left knee, forcing him to end his season early for a second-consecutive year.
The 30-year-old American Redd suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Lakers. He had an MRI scan Monday and doctors said surgery would be needed.
In 18 games this season, Redd was averaging 11.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 27.3 minutes.
Redd suffered a similar injury in January and had surgery four weeks later.
