At long last, we are home again. Feels good. Except for it being a travel SEGABABA versus the top team in the West, rested at that. Because, of course....

Home crowd boost, Pop's inspiring message still ringing in our ears, fresh off an inspired victory, let's keep the energy going. As ever, together.

We need to get back on track and stop screwing around. Yesterday was a huge setback.

1ST Q: SPURS 38 THUNDER 41

PHEW! BLAZING HOT IN HERE!

YOU GET A 3 AND YOU GET A 3 EVERYONE GETS A 3!!!

10-14 from the arc!

[G R E Y]

Keldon Sochan 2 man game continues. Sweet KJ bounce pass to the rolling JS.

[G R E Y]

JC very nice bounce pass to Sochan from the left side.

[G R E Y]

Keldon WILDER my goodness!

Takes it hard vs. 2 defenders, high off glass, sweet touch, in.

Barnes takes it to the body of their C and another high off glass touch in.

Smart, decisive, effective.

[G R E Y]

Wow we're playing really well!

Tracking the ball on D, protecting driving lanes, running out to contest.

Then pushing it smartly on O finding cutters, making quick decisions, driving hard, shooting lights out.

Very competitive.

2ND Q: SPURS 77 THUNDER 72

How do you stay ahead of the the top team in the West?

Make a franchise record setting 16 3s in the first half is how.

PHEW!

We do not look tired but wired and with fresh legs and minds.

Castle is ULTRA competitive. He wants ALL the smoke, defending SGA and going at him on O. And getting stops and scoring. He's growing before our eyes. Winner. Leading us with 18 already.

24 assists already to only 6TOs is clean.

With all our made 3s (16-26!) we are not getting to the FT line (only 3-5, has to be another record) but in the times we've driven (26-26 PITP) we've not had the whistle.

Same 9 man rotation; same starters; similar rotation minutes as precious game, indicating the shift in priorities to giving young core burn, and together.

Keep scorching, Spurs!

[G R E Y]

Yeah settling for 3s now and paying the price. In the first half we were reading and reacting, taking 3s in the flow of what the D gave us. Now we are hunting them and missing and getting burned by repeated second chance points. 13-4 against.

Think. Regroup. Push at them.

[G R E Y]

Uuugh. Vassell really turning into a DD clone minus vision and craft. Backs up his dribble more and more, wastes clock while 'probing' and passes horizontally. So a reset in a similar spot with less time. Rinse repeat.

[G R E Y]

Two bad passes in a row switched the energy a bit.

We can ill afford anything but adherence to fundamentals. None of the in the air back passes or passes to where we expect a guy to be.

[G R E Y]

They call a timeout after JC's drive and layup actually works lol

[G R E Y]

JC ejected; Sochan T.

They get two players ejected lmao
