Milwaukee Bucks 98, San Antonio Spurs 112: the Early Edition

After blowing a substantial first half lead late in the second quarter, the Spurs regained control during the third and cruised to 14 point victory over Milwaukee Bucks, a franchise which has given us an inexplicable amount of trouble during the Tim Duncan era.
A quick glance at the traditional box score paints a muddled portrait of the game. While we shot well from the field (51.3%) and beyond the arc (47.6%), the Bucks did as well (49.4% and 43.8% respectively). Both teams dished the same number of dimes (24) but Milwaukee won the turnover battle by a wide margin: the Spurs committed 16 turnovers compared to the Bucks 9.
