The Spurs’ transition attack paved the way for another victory on Saturday night against the Clippers. The team started 18.5% of their offensive possessions with a transition play, their 2nd highest rate of the season, and scored 1.529 points per play on those opportunities, according to Cleaningtheglass.com (CTG). A lot of that damage was done during an early third quarter run built on solid defense and quick hands.
After trading buckets to start the second half, the Spurs defense held on 6 consecutive possessions, forcing 4 misses, 2 live ball turnovers, and a shot clock violation.
