Stephon Castle had a triple-double with 22 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs steamrolled the Milwaukee Bucks 127-95 on Saturday for their eighth consecutive victory. The Spurs, who shot 55.1% from the field, never trailed and led by as many as 28 points in a dominant first-half performance. The loss eliminated the Bucks from playoff contention, snapping their streak of nine straight postseason appearances.

Why it matters

The Spurs' eighth straight win keeps them firmly in the hunt for the top seed in the Western Conference, just two games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder. Meanwhile, the Bucks' struggles without several key players, including Giannis Antetokounmpo, have ended their impressive playoff run.

The details

In addition to Castle's triple-double, the Spurs had seven players score in double figures, led by Victor Wembanyama's 23 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists. The Bucks were missing several starters and key contributors due to injuries and personal reasons, and they were unable to mount a serious comeback after the Spurs' big first-half lead.
