The good guys, without their three best players, almost pulled off an upset against the team with the best record in the NBA, but the Spurs came up short. Doug McDermott led the team with 24 points on a tremendous 6-9 shooting from downtown while Lonnie Walker IV came off the bench and poured in 22 points of his own.
Doug McDermott was dialed in all night from deep. While he’s shooting 41.9% from three this season, he is shooting 46.5% whenever he takes at least 5 attempts from three-point land. That is to say when McDermott lets it fly, and the Spurs set him up from deep, good things happen.
