Despite both teams being within spitting distance for a majority of the game, it was a sleepy affair at the Fiserv Forum. The ball brought more energy than either time, and exuberantly and spookily flew out of bounds and bounced every which way. Ultimately, one team was able to put said ball in the basket slightly more often, and that team was not the Bucks. San Antonio escaped Milwaukee with a 102-93 victory.
For the Bucks, the first quarter featured drive after drive to the rim, only for the Spurs to poke it out of their hands, easy lay-ins to be missed, or the ball to just disappear.
