The Milwaukee Bucks start a four-game road trip against a familiar opponent. Just two days after whipping San Antonio in the Fiserv Forum 127-118, the same two teams meet tonight (Monday) on the Spurs’ home court. The Bucks and Spurs were fairly even Saturday until midway through the third period when Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 15 straight points. After a hot-shooting first half, the Spurs were able to connect on only 26 percent of their shots in the last two periods. San Antonio is an annual playoff contender that is suffering through a 14-20 season right now, but the team is much better at home winning 10-of-19 games while going four-and-11 on the road. Tipoff is at 7:30 PM – listen on KFIZ starting at 7.
