The Finals: Spurs dominate Bucks, 126-143 (2-0).

Milwaukee was blown back home in Game 2.

Avery Bradley responded to Eric Bledsoe's big performance in Game 1 by taking a charge, sending a message to the aggressive scorer. In Bledsoe's stead, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 14 points in the first quarter, despite the Spurs shooting well, especially Patty Mills. The Spurs led 35-39 after one, with Nikola Mirotic hitting a deep three at the buzzer.

Bradley next was the recipient of a nice screen, rising up for the easy jumper at the elbow, surging to 17 points on his own, sparking San Antone to a huge 60-80 halftime lead, boosted by Iman Shumpert's outburst of 13 points as he hit several times from the perimeter off the bench, showcasing his worth. To cap it off, Mills hit a three to end the half at the buzzer. Patty went 5-5 and Shump 6-6.

It only got better for the Spurs, and worse for the Bucks: Mills was soon 8-8 and didn't miss a shot until the fourth quarter. Skal Labissiere hit a 3PTer to punctuate a mountainous 14-0 run, 64-94. Then it became 91-116, with the Spurs hitting 20 shots from deep territory. Milwaukee tried to double team Mills, who easily passed to Brandon Ingram for another 3-PT haymaker.

Milwaukee still narrowly won the boards, 38-36, shooting 57% overall to the Spurs' 59%. Giannis Antetokounmpo took up the mantle for 40 points, 8 rebounds & 14 assists, going 17/26. Khris Middleton had 18 points, with Brook Lopez contributing 17 points and 9 rebounds. Eric Bledsoe did manage 14 points, but went 7/18, hounded by Bradley. Malcolm Brogdon scored 14 points, also.

In the win, Mills had a team-high 32 points with 9 assists and six-made threes. Bradley finished with 24 points and 2 steals. Brandon Ingram scored 24 points, 9 rebounds with 3 steals. Shumpert totaled 17 points, with Labissiere's 14 behind him. Dejounte Murray had a quiet 13 points. Kyle O'Quinn hoisted down 8 rebounds.
