Giannis Antetokounmpo was expected to perform well on both the ends of the court, and he did not disappoint. He scored 27 points, made 13 rebounds (he has now racked up at least 12 rebounds in each of his previous six appearance) and gave 6 assists. Apart from Giannis, Brook Lopez (11 points and 10 rebounds) and Eric Bledsoe (21 points and 6 assists) contributed well.

It was a frustrating night for the Greek Freak and his team as they started off well but failed to improve their away record. After the game, Antetokounmpo praised the Spurs, "They played really good team defense, packing the paint, I was trying to create some shots for myself but I was trying to find my open teammates. I think I did a pretty decent job but we weren't able to knock down shots."
