The shorthanded San Antonio Spurs fell at the hands of the understaffed Indiana Pacers on Saturday night in a matchup between two teams on the fringes of the play-in tournament. Despite making several runs throughout the evening, the good guys never regained enough control of the contest to force their way back in front.
Jock Landale played like he was possessed, registering a career-high 26 points and seven rebounds on 12-of-15 shooting from the field in almost 35 minutes off the bench. Lonnie Walker IV chipped in 20 points and six boards as a reserve, while Devin Vassell bolstered the starting lineup with 19 points, seven rebounds, and three assists.
