Spurs knock Bucks to .500

The defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs, winners of eight of their last 10 games picked up their second consecutive victory, disposing of the Milwaukee Bucks 95-101.  The Spurs now await the arrival of the Charlotte Hornets, who are coming off a victory over the hapless New York Knicks.

The Spurs, after losing to the Bulls playing “… embarrassing basketball,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “I want my money back.”   The team  came into the game against the Lakers with an attitude that carried over to the Bucks.  Although the Bucks game had a bit of a learning curve to it.

“Actually, when they’re young and they’ve changed their team a bit, and their coach, it takes a little while to get used to it,” Duncan said. “We hadn’t seen them. It took a half to get used to what they were doing. And then when we did, we did a much better job; taking care of the ball, moving the ball and luckily we made some shots.”

The Spurs will have a couple of days before the Hornets game this Wednesday.   Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours now and help support your defending NBA Champion Spurs!
