Spurs Fiesta 5: San Antonio Falls Short vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
1. NO SGA, NO PROBLEM FOR THUNDER IN WIN VS. SPURS
"Coming off the most impressive win of their season against the Denver Nuggets, the San Antonio Spurs lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder 102-90 on Sunday evening."
2. SPURS TRADE RUMOR/IDEA
"The San Antonio Spurs have their sights fully set on winning the 2023 NBA Draft lottery and selecting the highly-coveted French center Victor Wembanyama. With most of their veterans gone, does management wish they could have made a move for Toronto Raptors point guard Malachi Flynn?"
3. MAMU BRINGS HIS 'A-GAME' VS. NIKOLA JOKIC
"I wanted to play Nikola [Jokic] so I brought my A-game today," Mamukelashvili said. "I can't say enough about my teammates. They were hyping me up. They were so great. They were hyping me up and just bringing positive energy and just trusting me."
4. REGRADING THE JAKOB POELTL TRADE
“With the 27-year-old center headed for unrestricted free agency, San Antonio might have lost him for nothing this summer,” B/R said. “The Spurs determined Poeltl wasn't a part of their future and added an asset that might turn into a player who will be. There's nothing wrong with that approach for a rebuilder.”
5. NEXT SPURS GAME
The Spurs are back in action tomorrow night when the Orlando Magic comes to town. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. You can watch in-market on Bally Sports Southwest or out-of-market on NBA League Pass.
