1. EXCITEMENT & EMOTIONS IN MURRAY'S SAN ANTONIO RETURN

"There were a lot of emotions coming, but more excitement than emotions," Murray said. "I’m not a guy that really cries, so I believe it was closure for sure and getting this game out of the way. We played them at home not too long ago, but that's really different than actually coming to San Antonio and playing. So, it was great to see a bunch of people that I didn't see back in Atlanta. The fans, I'm forever thankful and grateful, because they and the whole San Antonio, well majority of them, believed in me since I got here at 19 years old.”

2. BLAKE WESLEY BIG IN SPURS WIN VS. HAWKS

"It feels good. We're all happy. We didn't want to go out like the other night," Wesley said. "So to bounce back and get this win is huge for us. We didn't play good physicality in the first half but in the second half, we picked it up and you see the results,"

3. SPURS KEEPING THE FAITH

"Everybody played big today. We just kept the faith that we knew we were going to come back and that's just what we did," Vassell said. "At the end of the day, we are a young team and we got to feed off each other and that's what we did."
