Ailing Spurs let Milwaukee score at will

By the end of Tuesday night, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich didn't care who was sick or who wasn't. He had seen enough to make himself ill.
A stomach virus had swept through the locker room, depriving the Spurs of the services of Manu Ginobili, Brent Barry and Matt Bonner. But after watching the Milwaukee Bucks blitz their way to a 114-107 victory, Popovich was only concerned about his team's ailing defense.

"Our players need to make up their mind they're going to continue to understand that's what wins for us," Popovich said. "Or we should go ahead and make plans so we can have a long summer."

At the least, the Spurs can expect an eventful film session this morning. The 114 points Milwaukee scored — which, Popovich said, were "enough to win three games" — were the most the Spurs had allowed in a regulation game at home since Dallas hung 126 on them five years ago to the day.
