Jalen Green makes Bucks defender fall over with quick move, points to ground before bucket

While Jalen Green is still trying to find his footing in the Phoenix Suns’ rotation, he had no trouble showing off some fancy feet in Tuesday’s 129-114 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

In the opening minutes of the game at Fiserv Forum, Green drove the ball just short of the free-throw line and forward Ousmane Dieng hit his brakes too hard as the Suns guard entered a step-back motion.

As Dieng crumpled to the floor, Green added insult to injury by pointing to him before calmly pulling up and swishing the long-range bucket.

He got off to a 5 for 7 start (14 points) in seven first-quarter minutes as Phoenix took a 36-29 lead into the second. Green finished with 25 points (10 for 20) and contributed four rebounds and five assists.

The Suns sprinted out to a 7-0 lead, as Green made his first three shots of the night, displaying more offensive efficiency after posting a 36.9% clip in his first 16 games this season.

Milwaukee was without guard Kevin Porter Jr. (right knee), forward Bobby Portis (back) and big man Jericho Sims (right knee tendonitis).
