The (pre)season is finally here! In the Spurs first game of the year, they held on for a 106-100 victory at home. The team got off to a rough start and fell behind early. They trailed early and the offense looked a bit stifled. A solid bench unit brought them back, and the Heat led by 1 at the half. Pop found success after adjusting the lineup to start the 3rd quarter, something we’ll come back to later. The Spurs took a lead they never relinquished less than a minute into the 2nd half, even building a double-digit cushion at times.
