The Milwaukee Bucks head down south for a quick road game against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.

The Milwaukee Bucks have now lost back-to-back games. The team could use a win to prevent this bump in the road from becoming a prolonged losing streak, but that’s easier said than done considering their next opponent.

Milwaukee will take on the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night. The Spurs are the second-best team in the Western Conference, and according to offensive and defensive rating they sport the NBA’s fifth-best offense and best overall defense.

San Antonio has continued to be a quiet powerhouse. While all the attention goes to the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, the Spurs just keep on winning. San Antonio hasn’t lost two games in a row since early November, and that was the team’s longest losing streak.

So long story short, it won’t be easy for Milwaukee to pull a win out of this one-game road trip. The Spurs are super good just like they always are, and although the Bucks played them close earlier this season they failed to close out that game with a victory.
