The Spurs dominated a lowly opponent from wire to wire, as a contender should. Despite not getting a particularly great offensive performance from Victor Wembanyama, they found scoring from all over the floor on their visit to Milwaukee and played aggressive defense en route to an easy 127-95 win, sweeping their three-game road trip. As […]

Usually, these Victor Wemanyama – Giannis Antetokounmpo match-ups have been must-watch TV, but with the latter out along with several more members of the Bucks’ main rotation, it was another methodical Spurs blowout win against a struggling opponent. Things were clicking offensively for everyone not named Wemby in this one, and they used a full […]

The struggling Milwaukee Bucks face the white-hot San Antonio Spurs this afternoon at Fiserv, and there is potential for it to get really ugly, really fast; with Giannis already ruled out, Victor Wembanyama could run riot over the Bucks.
