With draft season approaching, it’s time for the Spurs to look hard at addressing one of their biggest needs. Late in the fourth quarter under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden, one of the lowest moments of the San Antonio Spurs season was taking place. Dennis Smith Jr. jumped a passing lane, tipped the ball away and took off.
With rookie center Mitchell Robinson sprinting behind him, DSJ tossed the ball off the glass and let the high-flying Robinson hammer it home. The play was the exclamation point of a 130-118 Spurs loss that broke an 18-game home losing streak for the Knicks.
