Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs looked for revenge against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Wemby and Co. lost 121-105 in the first meeting in Milwaukee on Jan. 8. A win by the Spurs would prevent their visitors from sweeping the season series.

The Frenchman had more impact on offense in the second quarter, scattering 10 points to help his team go toe-to-toe with the Bucks. The San Antonio Spurs only trailed 71-70 at halftime.

Victor Wembanyama showed why he deserved an All-Star spot in the third quarter. The Frenchman scored 14 points and battled Giannis Antetounmpo, who put up 13. Wembanyama's sizzling stretch allowed the Spurs to win the period 45-30 and lead 115-101 after three quarters.

The 7-foot-3 center added four points in the fourth quarter before he sat down for good. He was the biggest reason the Spurs cruised to a 144-118 win.
