San Antonio Spurs at Milwaukee Bucks

Avery Bradley made a jump shot and Harden received a flagrant 1 foul for elbowing Marcus Smart in the face. “[I’ll] do treatment and hopefully feel better tomorrow”.

San Antonio got 31 points from their bench.

Antetokounmpo has been having a breakout season with averages of 21.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists.

Monroe showed great effort in just 21 minutes, hauling in 13 boards and scoring ten points, but the overall offense couldn’t spin the cogs, making 41 percent from the floor and only 25 percent from downtown.

In a report by Give Me Sport, Spurs’ coach Gregg Popovich praised Giannis for learning how to play with his teammates and for emerging as one of the bright stars in the National Basketball Association. Just two others scored ten or more points.

This column acts as a means to recap what you might have missed from us at Behind The Buck Pass on the previous day, but also more importantly to share with you some of the work from around the internet that is worth your attention as a Bucks fan.

There is one thing that Brogdon and the Bucks have done well these 19 games: bring intensity on defense.

It was a slow start for San Antonio, with Milwaukee’s absurd length really bothering the guys in Silver and Black. “We want to score, but we don’t want to get into a situation where they make a three and now it’s our turn to make a three”.

“We had a tough stretch where we weren’t defending very well and teams were scoring”.

But a Parker turnover led to two free throws by Leonard, and Antetokounmpo traveled on the Bucks’ next possession.

The Bucks led, 48-35, at halftime after limiting the Spurs to nine points in the second quarter.

Celtics: James Young missed the game with an illness. Milwaukee ranks inside the top 10 in both steals and blocks per game, which shouldn’t come as surprise when you look at the abundance of athleticism on their roster. Brogdon also went 1 for 6 in 16 minutes. The record is 14 set by the Golden State Warriors last season. I think even Cleveland fans got excited by the slowest crossover in National Basketball Association history. “That’s all that matters”. Giannis’ stardom of late has overshadowed some of Jabari’s development, but even if his numbers aren’t as gaudy, his playmaking skills look far more skilled and nuanced than when he appeared to be forcing it early in the season.

Al Farouq-Aminu was probable on Monday night but played, and the Blazers could certainly use his defensive versatilty tonight. “You ask me, I’m the coach, I’m supposed to know?”
