The Spurs and the Kings played an entertaining, high-octane matchup on Sunday in which the better team ultimately prevailed. A game that was mostly close was decided by a timely run that the visitors made in the third quarter in order to pull ahead and manage their lead to get a 132-119 win in San Antonio.
Coming into the game, everyone expected it to be an offensive showdown, as the Kings have the third-best offense in the league but the 25th-best defense and the young Spurs can’t stop anyone but can get hot in a hurry. The predictions were right, as the teams combined for 123 points in the first half, with San Antonio shooting 63.
