The San Antonio Spurs emerged victorious on Saturday night, relying on their superior depth, defensive activity, and unselfish play to knock off the reigning champions on the road.
Dejounte Murray filled the boxscore to the tune of 23 points, five boards, nine assists, and three steals, leading the good guys on both ends while pulling off some late-game heroics.
Derrick White’s early shooting clinic set the tone for the Spurs, and this time, the second unit stepped up behind steady performances from Bryn Forbes and Thaddeus Young.
The pick-and-roll chemistry between Dejounte and Jakob has been on point this season, and the pair connected on another sweet feed for the first field goal of the game.
