Christmas came early in Mexico City. It’s a minor miracle that the Spurs managed to escape with a 121-119 win over the Devin Booker-less Suns, which should tell you all you need to know about San Antonio’s performance.
Despite the unusual venue, the actual game was all too familiar for Spurs fans. Once again Gregg Popovich changed his starting lineup, this time to include Dejounte Murray and Trey Lyles, and once again that unit struggled throughout the game. As usual the bench had to bail out the starters, with Lonnie Walker IV and Patty Mills leading the way.
