The shorthanded San Antonio Spurs put forth a valiant effort against Joel Embiid and the fifth-place Philadelphia 76ers, staying within a respectable deficit for most of the contest. A lackluster first quarter put the good guys in an early jam, but their mishmash of starters, backups, G Leaguers, and ten-day contract signees never let things get completely out of hand.
Dejounte Murray stuffed the stat sheet in just his second game back from a lengthy stint in COVID-19 protocols, recording 27 points, five rebounds, nine assists, three steals, and one block. Jakob Poeltl chipped in 17 points and six boards, while Lonnie Walker IV added 13 points as the only player to score in double-digits off the bench for the Silver and Black.
