After DeRozan put the Spurs back up by one, the Bucks scored the next seven points and wouldn't relinquish the lead the rest of the way. The Spurs got as close as 131-129, but Brogdon hit a 3 with 8.4 seconds remaining to ice the win for Milwaukee.

San Antonio climbed out of an early hole, rallying from a 26-14 first-quarter deficit and building a 37-36 lead at the end of the first 12 minutes.

DeRozan came alive in the second quarter, swishing a jumper from the lane and converting a driving layup after his missed free throw to give the Spurs a 52-48 lead.

San Antonio held a 68-67 halftime advantage, led by DeRozan's 18 points. Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 12 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in the first half.
