The NBA Finals: Spurs outsmart Bucks as Antetokounmpo fouls out, 121-128 (2-0).

The Bucks entered the 4th Quarter without their star.

The story of the night was Giannis Antetokounmpo fouling out before the fourth quarter, as Kawhi Leonard baited him into his final two fouls in what was another close game.

"We may need to make some adjustments," Coach Popovich deadpanned on the sidelines after the San Antone faithful watched the Spurs go up 2-0, halfway to an eight consecutive championship, despite the Bucks shooting well and just coming up short.

Nikola Mirotic did his best to make up for the absence of Antetokounmpo with 28 points and 9 rebounds, making six 3PTers. Brook Lopez had 16 points and 8 rebounds for the Bucks. Eric Bledsoe scored 15, with Malcolm Brogdon notching 14 on the game. Before fouling out, Giannis had collected 15 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists.

The first quarter belonged to the Bucks, 25-22, the second to San Antonio, 38-35, with the second half won by the Spurs, 68-61. In the play of the game, the fast break was electrified by Iman Shumpert stealing the ball and setting up a beautiful alley-oop dunk for Leonard.
