Wembanyama had his toes in the paint on Giannis's FT.
Bucks up 22-9 with 5:37 left in the 1st Quarter.
With 4:38 left, the Spurs are on a 7-0 run. 22-16 Bucks.
Spurs are limiting Wembanyama's playing time, tonight.
38-31 Bucks, after 1. Both teams trading 3s, late in the quarter.
Bucks sloppy with ball handling in the paint. Wembanyama blocks a shot and Giannis returns the favor on the other end.
Wow! Portis with his 3rd foul, takes a seat.
53-52 Bucks, with 4 minutes left in the half.
Bucks only up 1 well into the second quarter. Portis continues to struggle at both ends.
I know it's a back to back, but the Bucks look terrible against a really poor team. Lillard and Portis continue to be terrible. The Bucks are very lucky to be up 5. Giannis should have about 9 assists, but guys are missing a lot of open shots.
If Wembanyama can put some muscle on his frame, he will be a major force in this League.
Bucks are lackluster on Defense, tonight. Spurs look much more intense, on D.
Lopez with a rejection! Bucks on a 6-0 run to begin the 3rd quarter!
Bucks go on a quick 6-0 run to start the second half.
Lillard did throw up a 3 point shot that failed to draw iron. He's 0 for 3 from deep tonight and 14 for his last 48 from 3.
Middleton is done for tonight. Bucks limiting his playing time.
Spurs cut the lead from 11 to 4 as Dame shoots another air ball from 3.
I know we've been saying this for years, but there is no reason for Giannis to take anywhere near 10 seconds to shoot a FT.
Lopez miffed with his foul call. He held Wembanyama's arm on Giannis's shot.
Giannis power slams it home with Wembanyama defending!
2 point game. Spurs now believe they can win this. Bucks continue to show just atrocious transition defense. And they don't have Middleton's minutes in the second half to help them out.

And then misses the and one FT after taking about 13 seconds to shoot it after he gets the ball.
Dame misses a layup, complains to the official for a foul and loafs back on defense, and gives up an open 3. Then misses another layup.
Beauchamp drains a 3! Hes 43% from 3 this season.
Bucks are up by only 1 and Giannis hasn't rested in the second half yet.
The game is tied and the Bucks have given up 93 points to one of the worst teams of the last decade after 3 quarters. And now Giannis has to rest.
93-93 at the end of 3. Bucks phoning in their D this quarter.
Bucks now down 4 as Griffin somehow has gotten into a situation where he is playing a Beauchamp, Lopez, Beasley, Payne, and Connaughton lineup. In general, I think Griffin has gotten better, but if you know Middleton is not available in the second half, how in the world do not stagger the Giannis/Dame minutes?
Wide open 3 pointers and dunks from the Spurs. It's almost like they watched the Pacers game tapes.
Wonder if other teams will play fast against the Bucks? Count on it.
