The Silver and Black Scrimmage this year was much more than just a fan-focused exhibition. The team rolled out some interesting looks, and the play was far more competitive than your typical, just-for-kicks open scrimmage.
There was actual defense, at times, though not so much as to get in the way of a good time. Mostly, it was obvious the players and coaches were enjoying the event as much as the fans, and that made for some great moments. DeMar DeRozan’s up-and-under on Rudy Gay, Rudy’s two-handed slam, Lonnie Walker IV’s tomahawk dunk, and Marco Belinelli’s nut-meg on DeMar all drew a reaction from both the bench and the stands.
