Considering how poorly we shot this was… Actually one of the more fun games of the year and definitely the most encouraging performance during the losing streak. There have been other close games but a lot of the other ones only felt close because of unsustainable hot shooting versus actual good basketball.

But I thought they were real moments where the Spurs did exactly that in this game. Played good two-way basketball. Moving the ball, not turning it over, not making unforced errors, and a playingn Hard-nosed intense defense

It wasn’t perfect, obviously considering they still lost, and that third quarter had some really ugly moments where they reverted back to not properly rotating on perimeter shooters, but there is really a lot to like tonight

I thought Victor had his past performance since that Phoenix Suns game. His playmaking was definitely the best of his career tonight and it’s a tragedy It happened during such a cold shooting performance or he would have flirted with a triple double. He picked out so many open shooters and cutters at the rim. He was wonderful. For people curious how Victor would perform in a more minimal, slightly more traditional, role like Chet has with Oklahoma City. This was probably the best glimpse of that.

He played off of ball handlers, didn’t try to do too much, and was just very solid on both ends

Jeremy had a roller coaster game again but his play in that fourth quarter was tremendous and he was a huge reason why we got back into that game. When he’s aggressive He has a tendency to make mistakes in his new lead ball handler role, but the team I still think is better off with him being willing to attack the paint and use his size mismatch quick, early, and off and versus floating around on the perimeter where he doesn’t really add much offensively and him being 6’9 doesn’t really matter

Devin and Johnson both had moments where they were the worst players on the floor for the Spurs not named Malachi, and both had some really good individual moments too

I won’t live on too long about the rest of the Spurs, but I thought it was a good defensive evening that just lacked shot making.

And more positive news, the Charlotte felons won again, Maybe against all odds they going to win streak and make the playoffs.
