After demolishing the San Antonio Spurs with a barrage of three-pointers on Saturday night, the Bucks got that same treatment in a 126-104 loss to San Antonio.
It appeared as if the Bucks were going to cruise offensively, as their first three made baskets were of the three-point variety and they jumped out to a 9-2 advantage. However, it was all Spurs after that spurt.
Credit to the home team as they made Giannis Antetokounmpo grind for his points by successfully walling off the paint and leaving the perimeter uncontested. While that is a bold strategy, the Bucks could simply not get anything to fall from the outside on top of Giannis not being able to knife through the defense.
