The San Antonio Spurs affiliate Austin Spurs kicked off their 15-game G League bubble season with a 119-111 win over the Memphis Hustle on Wednesday. It was an impressive debut for the squad, as five Spurs ended the afternoon in double figures to help pull away in the fourth quarter.
Austin led by as many as 13 but allowed a 34-point third quarter to Memphis, who took a 90-82 lead going into the final frame. That’s when the two San Antonio projects decided enough was enough.
