Nine games were held tonight (between Monday and Tuesday) at the BBC.
San Antonio - Milwaukee 104: 126
The Spurs surprised the team with the best balance in the league (6:32) in a game that set a season-high of threes with no fewer than 19 snaps off the bow. DeMar Drusen settled for a single, but led San Antonio's scoreline with 25 points. Petty Mills contributed 21 of his own with 6 of 10 for three.
The Bucks, who were stopped after five consecutive wins, led Janis Antocompo with 24 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, but that was not enough. Chris Middleton finished a game he didn't want to remember with just 15 points (5 from 16 from the field).
