The San Antonio Spurs suffered their first loss of the preseason in the home of the Detroit Pistons, losing 115-105. After a horrific first quarter, the Spurs came charging back in the second to briefly take the lead, before getting blown out in the second half while playing some makeshift lineups that likely won’t be seen outside of garbage time in the regular season.
Bryn Forbes led three Spurs in double-digits with 20 points off the bench, while Jerami Grant scored 19 points to lead five Pistons is double figures.
Observations
- Lonnie Walker got the start in place of late scratch Dejounte Murray, and he was immediately aggressive on offense, hitting a pullup three on the Spurs first offensive possession and driving and faking Isaiah Stewart into the air for the easy shake-and-bake layup on the second.
