Spur killer Harden is no longer to be feared without his two Thunder friends. But is he capable of being the superstar that the Rockets need?
The Spurs looked like a team that had one too many days off in the early going, but San Antonio's bench keyed a fourth quarter binge that was ultimately too much for the struggling Bucks to handle.
San Antonio outrebounded, outshot and out-defended the Bucks, but still had to overcome another slow start to close the deal. The Spurs beat the Bucks, 110-99.
Following their ugly loss in New Orleans on Monday, the Bucks head to San Antonio looking to avoid falling under .500 for the first time this season. But it won't come easy with a rejuvenated Tim Duncan spearheading a terrific-as-usual Spurs team.
