The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Phoneix Suns 112-95 on Sunday night, winning their second in a row and improving to 2-1 in the current homestand. Before tip-off, both teams had a moment of silence to honor the memory of those affected by the shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, about 30 miles away from San Antonio.
The first half was ugly for the Spurs. They struggled to keep up with the Suns’ pace, missed open shots, things just weren’t going their way and they headed into the locker room at halftime down by 4. Fortunately, the Suns are one of the very worst defensive teams in the league and the Spurs were able to generate better looks and knock down open shots as the game went on.
