Game report: Tuesday at a glance
ON THE COURT
PLAYER OF THE GAME:Michael Redd hit jumpers, got to the rim and made all eight of his free throws to score a game-high 36 points. "We just stayed focused mentally," he said. "This is a long game and we stayed in it mentally for all of it, even when we were down. We just chipped away and then at the end of the game we hit big shots."
PLAY OF THE GAME: Mo Williams slammed the door on the Spurs by sinking an 18-foot jumper to give the Bucks a 112-107 lead with 16.5 seconds left. "It was a play, (coach Terry Stotts) iso-ed me," Williams said. "He had enough confidence in me to get a bucket. I just set myself up in my shooting range where I'm comfortable and I made it."
OFF THE BENCH: The Spurs were unexpectedly short-handed as starting guard Manu Ginobili and reserves Brent Barry and Matt Bonner were inactive after coming down with a stomach virus during the day. Ginobili is averaging 15.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game and Barry is the league's leading three-point shooter. Bucks reserve guard Steve Blake left the game for good early in the second quarter with a back sprain. He played 7 minutes.
