Tim Duncan helps Spurs beat Bucks 112-98

BEIJING, Nov. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- Tim Duncan helped the San Antonio Spurs beat the Milwaukee Bucks 112-98 on Monday night with 24 points and 12 rebounds, media reported Tuesday.

Matt Bonner had 23 points off the bench and the Spurs won consecutive games for only the second time this season. Bonner was 6 of 8 from behind the arc, matching his career-high for 3-pointers in a game.

Michael Redd scored four points in his first action in nine games. The former All-Star strained a tendon in his left knee when he went up for a dunk during Milwaukee's first game of the season.

Ersan Illyasova led Milwaukee with 20 points. Brandon Jennings scored 12, held well below his rookie-leading average of 25.3 points per game.

Redd played 11 minutes off the bench and showed a predictable bit of rust while playing for the first time in four weeks. His first shot was a jumper that badly missed the rim, and he finished 1 of 3 from the field and made just one of six free throws.
