2ND Q: SPURS 62 BLAZERS 57

We won this Q 36-24, a near reversal of the 1ST Q.

We are frankly benefiting from their experienced PF out with back spasms and their rookie PG talent playing few minutes because of something getting tweaked.

Wemby is Wembying - leads us with 18 - EIGHTEEN! in only 13 minutes. That's 18 on 6-11, team best 2-4 from 3, team best 4-4FTs, 7 boards (2 on O), 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks.

Sochan is having a comeback game with 11 on 5-11, 1-3 from 3, team high 8 boards (tied for team high 4 on O), 2 assists, 1 steal. He could and should have made better choices to pass rather than take a couple of contested misses. He was a force on rebounds, a force in pushing in transition, imposing his strength and energy. Good.

Tre is only 1-2 but leads us with 5 assists and 2 steals.

Devin struggling through 2-8 but driving hard.

Keldon is all pure energy and bullying his way back to a resurgent comeback game as well. Four O boards (7 in total, bench high), 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 blocks (!), and 10 points on 5-8. Terrific running out to close out on the arc! Very nicely done.

Zach. 1-3. 2 boards (1 on O). 11 minutes played. Dude. SHOW UP!

Blake 0-5. Just play within yourself. But bench high 3 assists and 2 steals. Pace pusher.

Cedi the smart fundamentals all around contribution guy - 2-2, passes, runs ahead in transition, finishes -- 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block.

We are rebounding very well 32-20 and 11-3 on O boards.

17 assists.

8 steals.

5 blocks.

Protect the arc. Protect the rim. Good to great passing. Make smart shots.

[G R E Y]

Bad Wemby shot selection, discombobulated start, Pop timeout, yells at Wemby. Gotta take the bad with the good, rookie.

[G R E Y]

Sochan great cut through the paint to break through their zone D, Wemby deft pass to him, Sochan turnaround fadeaway J.

[G R E Y]

Someone want to **** contest a shot or WTF? Wide open J... ffs

[G R E Y]

Tre beautiful drive and reverse layup.

[G R E Y]

Julian you had an open 3 and passed it to Wemby right beside you instead. Not the right move.

[G R E Y]

Keldon did A LOT OF GREAT D WORK on that possession. He kept his man in front of him, switched properly, tracked the next man and ran out to contest, swiped at a ball to deflect it on a drive. Just terrific defensive hustle.

[G R E Y]

Keldon moves up for the great help D forcing a pass. Incredible reads and responses from him - wide stance, hand up, gets there at the right time WHO IS THIS PLAYER?!

[G R E Y]

Zach gets O board, gets stripped, we give up a transition basket. Geez, mate...

[G R E Y]

Keldon miss Keldon O board Keldon feathery floater high arc 2.
