PHOENIX — For the second straight night, the Milwaukee Bucks couldn't stop their opponents' ill star.

A day after getting torched by an ailing Kobe Bryant in a 110-105 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix's Steve Nash burned the Bucks.

Nash, shaking off the lingering effects of stomach flu, scored 26 of his season-high 35 points in the second half and the Suns beat the Bucks in Phoenix for the 20th consecutive time, 122-114 on Saturday night.

"I actually didn't feel great, but somebody was smiling on me," he said, "and a bunch of shots went in."

Nash was 11-for-13 shooting, 4-for-5 on 3-pointers, in the final two quarters.

He left Wednesday night's game against Indiana in the third quarter and missed Thursday night's loss at Utah because of what he termed a "pretty nasty" illness. He was no sure thing for this game, either.

"I didn't know this morning if I was going to be able to play to be honest," Nash said, "but it was decent."

The Suns' dominance of the Bucks is the longest active home winning streak of its kind in the NBA. The Spurs have beaten Golden State in San Antonio 19 straight times.

Amare Stoudemire had 31 points and Boris Diaw, starting while Grant Hill recovers from an appendectomy, had a season-best 21 points and 11 rebounds.

Andrew Bogut made 14 of 16 shots, all near the basket, for a career-best 29 points to lead the Bucks.

Michael Redd added 18 points but on 5-for-16 shooting in his first start in six games.

Redd sat out five with a deep thigh bruise, then came off the bench against the Lakers.

Charlie Bell also scored 18 and Bobby Simmons had 17 for the Bucks, who lost despite shooting 56 percent.

"This was a dangerous team for us," Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni said. "They score in all kinds of ways."

The Suns shot 57 percent in a game that featured little defense.

The Bucks were up by as many as 10 points and led 68-61 at halftime, but Phoenix outscored the Milwaukee 35-18 in the third quarter, finishing it with a 13-3 run to lead 96-86 entering the fourth.

"At the start of the second half, I think we stubbed our foot a little bit," Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "They got the crowd back into it, got them feeling good about themselves and then we ran into three guys (Nash, Diaw and Stoudemire) that shot about 75 percent between the three of them."

Charlie Bell's 3-pointer cut it to 118-114 with 56 seconds left, and the Bucks had a chance to get closer, but Raja Bell blocked Redd's shot.

Raja Bell and Nash put it away with a pair of free throws apiece.
