The Milwaukee Bucks battled with the San Antonio Spurs until the very end, but they came up just short. If Milwaukee can hang with the Spurs like that, they should have a good chance against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Portland is not a bad team by any means, but the Blazers have struggled to make all of their pieces fit together. Lots of noise was made about Portland paying up big time for the services of Allen Crabbe and Evan Turner, and the critics may have been right about those two deals.
