An important two-game tilt that provides a good measuring stick for our back to Spurs Way play and affects our position in the standings. Let's establish home court dominance in this first one.

WHERE: Frost Bank Center, San Antonio, TX

WHEN: Wednesday, January 15, 2024, 7pm (CT)



GO SPURS GO!!!

Wemby foul *on jump ball* called.

Dev TO steps out of bounds...

Castle will have to work on midrange game. Pretty much everything outside of 5 damn feet.

Smart Barnes bucket. Good to find him vs. mismatch.

Did everything right in that transition basket. Quick pass ahead. Runner to wing. Another pass. Dev hits the sideboard on a 3... Smh...

Dev top of arc 3. Much better.

Tie game after going down 8 early on more effort and physicality against.

Halfway through the 1ST and we've put up 12 3s already.

Clearly the strategy.

Good thing we've made 3 so far.

Have to avoid overloading strong side spacing and getting stuck in the corner.

10-2 run by us.

Bassey in.

Keldon great man D prevents a basket.

Then we stifle alley attempt.

Good rim protection.

Bassey block. Nice.

Terrible inside D awareness.

Our guy had his back turned on the cutter lol

KJ nice drive.

Bassey nice cleanup.

KJ 3.

Good quick effective trips.

Wemby needs to get easy points inside now. Don't settle for Js.

1ST Q: SPURS 30 GRIZZLIES 28

Loathe as I am for us to give up late Q points, it was a scramble play after two Wemby blocks late in the clock.

Julian had a bit more time for that end of Q heave.

We got out hustled early but responded well later.

Down 8 to up 5 until that end of Q 3 is good effort

We are clearly intent on spamming 3s tonight and have made 5-13 so solid start. But let's not settle for these when we can get points inside. Work to create them.

Keldon has done an amazing job of that.

Bassey good work as well.

Wemby getting bodied but adjusted well to get 3 blocks and made 3s.

Good movement and passing.

Be careful about the physicality and protect the arc.

Man I RRRREEEEAAAAALLLLY DO NOT want Castle to be chucking up 3s.

Give these side passes to Dev.

We can't afford to waste possessions.

Work for 8 point lead. Give it right back ...

Bassey in. Dev D board. Good team crashing the rebounds.

I like that Bassey is active.

Why is he playing? We dont have any short guys?
