The Spurs punted their already slim chances at beating the Warriors on Wednesday night for a better shot at a more important, and less improbable, victory over the Trailblazers on the 2nd game of their back to back. In doing so, they got some much needed rest for their two best players, and freed up some minutes for guys who don’t typically get a chance to shine.
Lonnie Walker IV got the most run of his young career, with nearly 26 minutes, took almost twice as many shots as his previous high, with 10, and should’ve had a new career high in assists, too.
