SAN ANTONIO — The Thursday night San Antonio Spurs clash with the Milwaukee Bucks at the Frost Center was one of the team's most thrilling games of the season.
It came down to the final moments of the game and although the Spurs ultimately lost, the night was also memorable away from the basketball action.
BUCKS' ROBIN LOPEZ JERSEY SWAP WITH THE COYOTE
Lopez kept true to his ongoing, playful battles with NBA team mascots, and this time, he had the Spurs Coyote in his sights.
After literally knocking off his eyes, Lopez and the Coyote made peace postgame and exchanged autographed jerseys.
Hopefully, things ended amicably after the game and the Coyote doesn't hire an attorney from the fictitious Acme Corporation.
FANS SERENADE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WEMBANYAMA PREGAME
Thursday also marked Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama's 20th birthday and to celebrate, fans gathered pregame at the Frost Center to give him a birthday serenade.
He completely appreciated the gesture as he applauded the fans for the song.
DRINKS ON POP?
Following the Spurs' loss to the Bucks, coach Gregg Popovich's postgame comments were short and sweet.
However, he did invite the media on hand at the press conference to meet him at the bar.
If he is buying then sure, why not?
