In the middle of the first quarter of the Spurs’ victory over the Nets on Thursday night, the Nets switched to their 2-3 zone defense for a play. The Spurs didn’t appear caught off guard - they did the right things, popping into open spots and attacking the seams - but got nowhere. Derrick White settled for a pull up jumper just inside the 3 point line as the shot clock expired and missed.
LaMarcus Aldridge grabbed the offensive board, but missed his turnaround jumper as well. Derrick committed a loose ball foul going for the rebound, and that was that.
