The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 119–101 on January 15 at Frost Bank Center, a decisive 18-point victory that came well under the Vegas total of 225.5 points. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 22 points while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 19, anchoring an efficient offensive performance that saw San Antonio shoot 50.6 percent from the field and connect on 16 three-pointers. The Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 21 points and Kuzma contributed 18, but Milwaukee's 39.1 percent shooting proved insufficient against a Spurs defense that held them to just 101 points. San Antonio's third quarter proved decisive, outscoring Milwaukee 40–16 in that frame to seize control; the Spurs' 120.3 offensive rating and 101.3 defensive rating underscored their dominance on both ends. Milwaukee's bench and depth struggled throughout, managing only 24 assists on 37 total rebounds compared to San Antonio's 28 assists and 50 boards. The Bucks' poor third-quarter execution, combined with their 39.1 percent shooting and 13 turnovers, revealed vulnerabilities that could resurface in playoff positioning.
