QUOTABLE

Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo on their last couple of games: "Both games, I haven't played in the fourth quarter which is kind of insane, and not for good reasons, for bad reasons, right? Just got to be able to play better. You know that you're going to play the San Antonio Spurs, you know that they're a very good team, you know that they're going to be aggressive, they're going to drive the ball, get in the paint for kick-out threes."

"You know they just lost to [the Oklahoma City Thunder], so you know they're going to have a lot of urgency in their game-plan. Your mindset is coming into this game to do the right thing and I think, at times, we did the right thing and you take it and go to the next one. Atlanta also plays well, have been winning the last couple of games. We haven't, so we just got to go there with the mindset that we got to get one, and then go back home."
