At this point of the season, every game is a must-win for the San Antonio Spurs. This started weeks ago when the team went on a poor run. However, with six consecutive wins, the Spurs entered Sunday’s matchup vs. the Milwaukee Bucks as arguably the NBA’s hottest team. Wins came against the New Orleans Pelicans, Minnesota Timberwolves, Washington Wizards and other potential playoff teams — not just lower-level squads. Would the same happen against the Eastern Conference’s Bucks?
The Spurs fell behind early, with a struggle to shoot from the field and an early scoring barrage from Milwaukee.
