Tim Duncan’s best game against the Milwaukee Bucks was an epic one. Duncan dropped 38 points on the Bucks, the most he ever scored against Milwaukee.
He also added 16 rebounds, three assists and three blocks. The only mark against The Big Fundamental on that night back in 2001 were his six turnovers, although he only committed one foul in that game.

Duncan played 50 minutes that night, more than any other player involved. He did his absolute best to elevate his Spurs to victory but ultimately came up short against a somewhat talented Bucks team featuring Sam Cassell, Glenn Robinson and Michael Redd.
Duncan scored four of the six Spurs points in overtime, but eventually missed a game-tying three-point attempt that essentially ended the game. Like always, Duncan gave absolutely everything he could to his team. It’s impossible to win them all, although Timmy did notch 1001 victories over the course of his career.
