What we learned from the Spurs win over the Pistons

Take a deep breath Spurs fans. It was only the 2^nd game of the preseason, and it came against a Detroit Pistons squad missing two of its best three players. Still, the Spurs shot the lights out, especially in the first half, and there was a lot to like about the team’s performance.

The first, and most noticeable development, was a new starting lineup. Coach Pop chose to start Patty Mills and Jakob Poeltl alongside Dejounte Murray, DeMar DeRozan, and LaMarcus Aldridge, moving Rudy Gay and Pau Gasol to the bench.
