Duncan guides San Antonio Spurs to win over Milwaukee

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, (Reuters) – Tim Duncan scored 24  points and had 12 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs beat  Milwaukee 112-98 on Monday to end the Bucks’ three game winning  streak.

Reserve Matt Bonner chipped in with 23 points, including  six 3-pointers, as the Spurs managed  back to back wins  to improve to 6-6 this season.

“We’re moving the ball really well. We have really good  shooters and when we can get those guys open shots it’s best  for us,” Duncan told reporters.

“We’re also getting a lot of good play from our bench and  that’s what we’re going to need if we’re going to win games  like this.” Ersan Ilyasova top scored for Milwaukee (8-4) with 20  points while rookie Brandon Jennings added 12, well down on his  25.3 season average and his 55-point haul against the Golden  State Warriors earlier this month.

“I don’t think he (Jennings) was forcing shots. He went to  the rim a few times in transition and came up empty,” Bucks coach Scott Skiles said.
