"Who guessed that the Spurs' only win this week would come without Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell ... on the road ... against one of the hottest teams in the league? Maybe Pop? Nah, not even him. The Dom Barlow Show was in full effect, as the youngster had 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists off the bench in the win over Golden State, while Keldon Johnson, Malaki Branham and Jeremy Sochan all scored 20 points or more," CBS Sports writes.
The strong play from young players like Barlow, Branham and Sochan make things promising for the Spurs, who don't have much to play for in the final month of the season.
The goal from here is to simply be as competitive as possible and play spoiler against teams fighting for playoff spots.
The Spurs can do that this week at home by beating the Houston Rockets tonight, the Denver Nuggets on Friday or the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.
