    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The San Antonio Spurs, winners of 13 straight, are turning up the defensive pressure when it counts.

    Their latest lockdown came Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, who were held to their lowest point total of the season in an 89-74 loss.

    On Friday, Orlando was within a basket midway through the fourth quarter and the Spurs ended up winning by 15. On Sunday, Joe Smith hit a 16-footer to pull the Bucks to 66-63 with more than 10 minutes remaining. It would be their last basket for six minutes, and by the time Michael Redd drove for a layup with 4:38 left, it was 80-67 Spurs.

    Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Hedo Turkoglu each scored 12 for the Spurs.

    Duncan, who aggravated a left ankle sprain on the opening jump ball and struggled offensively all night (3-15 FG, 6-16 FT), had 15 rebounds and Turkoglu grabbed a season-high 12.

    San Antonio broke the Bucks' three-game winning streak.

    Redd led Milwaukee with 22 points and Tim Thomas had 13.

    Bucks tried to hang in there but the Spurs are on a roll. Ginobilli had a monster game.. Spurs are probably the best defensive team in basketball..

    We definetley showed the bucks how team defense is played, and how Big time basketball is executed, Manu had a great game and steped up when it counted, he filled in for T.D but T.D had a monster game on the boards, and swatted 5 shots too!
