I kept thinking the Spurs were just about to turn the corner in this game. At a few different points they scrapped and clawed their way back into the lead and I would say to myself, “and now they’ll just take over and blow these guys away.”
It never happened.
You have to give the opposition a lot of credit here. They weathered every storm and answered every threat the Spurs posed. These are not the Sacramento Kings of the past. They are still young and raw, but they played with a purpose.
