San Antonio (6-7) snapped its five game losing streak tonight with a thorough effort and dominance from its starters in its win over ice-cold Milwaukee (10-2). The Bucks were missing their top contributors from the 2021 championship run (Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday), but again picked up a boost from point guard Javon Carter (21 points and 6 assists) with center Brook Lopez chipping in 19 points. The visitors shot just 33% for the night, which doomed their chances.
The Spurs had the rare designation as favorites going into the game, and were able to nab a first quarter lead and hold onto it for the bulk of the playing time - doing so convincingly.
