There is no doubt Giannis Antetokounmpo is having an All-Star season with the numbers he has been producing , as Monday 's 22 - point , 11 - rebound performance was his eighth double - double of the season and brought his season averages to 22 points , 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game . But perhaps the most overlooked stat of Antetokounmpo 's breakout season is his steal totals , which , after recording two in Monday 's loss to San Antonio , is now up to 2 per game . The Greek Freak has now managed to record at least two steals in his last four games and in five of his last seven . He has also had five games this season where he has gotten at least four steals and is currently behind only Chris Paul for the NBA lead in steals per game . So , while all eyes are on Antetokounmpo 's ability to fill up the box score on the offensive end , he is turning out to be just as effective of a player on the other side of the ball as well . The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 97 - 96 Monday at BMO Harris Bradley Center . It was a remarkable comeback effort for the Spurs ( 17 - 4 ) , who , after scoring just 35 points in the first half and just nine in the second quarter , used a terrific second - half effort to earn the victory and improve to a perfect 120 on the road this season . Overall , San Antonio outscored Milwaukee ( 10 - 9 ) by 14 points in the second half and their run was topped off by a game - winning layup from LaMarcus Aldridge , who finished with 18 points , nine rebounds and five assists , with just over 20 seconds remaining . Kawhi Leonard led the way for the Spurs , scoring a team - high 21 points and grabbing nine rebounds of his own , while Pau Gasol posted 15 points and nine boards . It was a matchup won in the frontcourt for the Spurs , as the only other San Antonio player to reach double figures was Dewyane Dedmon , who finished with 10 points and six rebounds off the bench . For the Bucks , they were led once again by their young stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker . Antetokounmpo 22 points , 11 rebounds , two assists and two steals , while Parker managed 23 points , eight rebounds and two assists . The rest of the Bucks starters , meanwhile , combined to score just 20 points , and it was the contributions from Milwaukee 's reserves that kept them ahead , with Greg Monroe posting a double - double of 10 points and 13 rebounds and Mirza Teletovic scoring 11 points off the bench . The Bucks could potentially get themselves into trouble as the season goes on if they do n't have a legitimate scoring option after Parker and Antetokounmpo , as teams will focus more and more on the young stars with both putting together stellar seasons . Up next , the Spurs will look to win their 13th straight on the road when they take on the Timberwolves on Tuesday , while the Bucks will stay home Wednesday and play the Trail Blazers .
