Sochan excelling at one of his core skills! lol

2ND Q: SPURS 60 SUNS 54

We withstood the adjustment of going small with all plus shooters, withstood the big run against, pushed back with some FU attitude, some extra curriculars, some hutzpah, some scrappy D, and some good shooting.

Thank goodness for Fox. Quietly leads us with an efficient 13 and smart assisting, 4.

Castle flat out belongs. Makes things happen on both ends. Fearless in shooting open shots. Getting more comfortable scoring.

CP3 doing **** disturbing CP3 things for us when we are without Wemby is a huge energy booster. Also leads us with 5 assists. Love it.

Dev and Castle combined 0-6 from 3. We need more efficiency from both all over the place, but loving the effort. Smarter shots taken.

Everyone but Biyombo has scored. We need to reward our big man starter with some rim plays.

Good bench support - 28 points.

Great tram 3s shooting - 10-24.

18 assists to only 3 TOs.

Good team rebounding. Just need some more efficiency.

Again, all heart and hustle.

D to O for a Devin left corner 3.

CP3 Biyombo P&R for the open dunk. Feeding the big man!

**** off, Turtle Gundy. You know nothing of our coaching situation.

Pop said he longs to return. He is his word. Let's not look past his will and desire, his increased role, and our stability.

Devin, again, you do all that work to get by the big mismatch, take it to the hoop, and don't try to score but kick it out to Barnes for a left corner 3 miss.

At least try for the reverse or protect the ball and take it hard to the hoop. Tru to get FTs and the opposing big into foul trouble.

The pass was accurate. The shooter ready and in position. But it shouldn't always be about the 3 being the end point of such effort.

Biyombo excellent rim cleanup on O then excellent rim protection on D. Fouled KD but didn't allow the hype dunk.

3RD Q: SPUR 94 SUNS 79

OH!

Look who rebounded well in our best Q to outscore them 34-25, adjust well, play hustle D, and run sexy fundamental P&R, horns, D to O transition play after play to get stops and pour in points.

27 assists already. Excellent shooting. Terrific team rim and rebound protection and finishing.

Stay poised. Stay hungry. Stay together. Stay ahead.

I like Fox's ISO game. It's a needed boost to our O. But these choices of going into the paint vs. multiple defenders can be either drawing defenders in when it works or ill advised when too congested. Judicious driving, please...

Terrible ISO O decisions hurting us.

Good timeout. I'd have liked one even a bit earlier before the last bucket.

Our O the entire game was predicated on team play, on the opponent bot knowing where the points would come from. When we go go-to guy creating on ISOs, it becomes easier to anticipate and defend.

We must go back to our team ID - D, D to O, extra pass to guys ahead in position, multiple options available.

Ruh roh 17-4 run against.

Keldon stops bleeding with a bucket.

100-96 for the good guys.

EDIT: Keldon bodies KD in the paint, hustles for the putback second effort. Excellent.

Devin getting anti clutch stench on him.

Just can't make end of Q and game buckets in close games. Right mentality in terms of assertiveness, poor execution.

Prove me wrong, Devin!
