Overview
- San Antonio, which won 127-95 on Saturday in Milwaukee, pushed its win streak to eight games and ended the Bucks’ playoff hopes.
- Stephon Castle logged a 22-10-10 triple-double and Victor Wembanyama added 23 points, 15 rebounds and six assists as seven Spurs scored in double figures.
- The victory locked the Spurs into at least the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, with San Antonio now two games behind Oklahoma City.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo missed a sixth straight game with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, a run that has drawn questions from the players union about his availability.
- Milwaukee’s loss snapped a nine-year postseason streak and points to an offseason of scrutiny over injuries and depth, while the Spurs’ 24-2 stretch since February 1 has transformed them into a prime contender.
