SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 65: SPURS AT ROCKETS, 5-3-2023, 6PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

Devin finally makes the 3.

Unfortunately they get one right back...

[G R E Y]

1ST Q: SPURS 24 ROCKETS 38

Up 8 to down 14 is a 22-point swing. Obvious, yes, but just need to look at it to let it sink in.

THIRTY-EIGHT from some transition points against, FOUR 3s already is not the formula.

Just some effort running back and boxing out would be nice. Yes we're missing three starters, but EFFORT should be there.

Bassey and Barlow are showing some, but teamwide we have to commit to not leaving teammates on an island versus multiple opponents.

Only ONE bench point hurts, too.

[G R E Y]

Mamu pretty right corner 3, followed by good run in transition on O for the +1.

[G R E Y]

Diop right to left curl drive for another +1.

[G R E Y]

Devin's getting the shots he wants just front rimming the lot of them.

[G R E Y]

Diop similar move, gets another foul.

We just can't get any stops...

[G R E Y]

Like I said, can't get stops. Now getting yammed on...

[G R E Y]

Diop gets to the right spot, doesn't use the glass, swirls out. USE THE GLASS!

[G R E Y]

More assertive Diop like a light went on to have a baseline of at least third gear is good to see.

[G R E Y]

Malaki BLOWN BY but bailed by Bassey. Film for Malaki D surely.

Julian finishes in transition.

then we give up an +1 right back...

Pop timeout.

[G R E Y]

Malaki over-dribbling as ball handler and just passes horizontally as Diop leaks out. Malaki can't just stand there dribbling...

[G R E Y]

Malaki over dribbles, held onto the ball too long, had open Spurs on the right weak side, gets it stolen on a weak one handed loop pass attempt on his own side. FILM.

[G R E Y]

Malaki comes back with a 3...

[G R E Y]

I've only seen Pop get up once and that was to talk to the ref about some call

[G R E Y]

Malaki on O however is developing terrifically. Got off on the 'wrong' foot for the layup - one step quicker than expected threw off the rhythm of the defender's timing and Malaki got the basket and foul.

[G R E Y]

Bassey basket bring us to within 5 and forces a timeout.

[G R E Y]

Love Bassey. Just doesn't give up.

[G R E Y]

Devin hits the shot, gets back, no help D when he gets dunked on...

[G R E Y]

Ok. Once again, get Graham out and give these minutes to Blake, PLEASE!

[G R E Y]

Dunk against.

Missed drive (but pretty move by Keldon)

End of Q 3 on KJ (but well defended)...
