An all-around team performance helped the Spurs defeat Jazz

AP Photo/Rick Bowmer Spurs shoot 49% from three to start another win streak. Coming off an impressive win against the Phoenix Suns on Monday night, the Spurs looked to carry the momentum to Salt Lake City against the Jazz. Even though it was not a wire-to-wire win, it certainly felt like it. They grabbed a 29-15 lead after the first quarter and simply did not look back. They won 118-111 thanks to some great performances. Devin Vassell led the team with 31 points, six assists, four rebounds, and a steal. Even with Wemby returning, Devin still showed a dominant...

San Antonio vs. Utah, Final Score: Spurs lead early and cruise to victory over Jazz, 118-111

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports No blown double-digit leads this time. Fresh off a win against the Suns on Monday, the Spurs headed out on the road to take on a slumping Utah Jazz team. After a strong start that saw the Good Guys get out by as much as 19, the Jazz went on big a run in the second quarter to keep the game from getting away from them, but the Spurs recovered and kept them at arm’s length the rest of the way. staving off any comeback attempts and making their free throws down the stretch for the 118-111 win.

Jeremy Sochan’s career night propels Wemby-less Spurs past Suns

Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports With Victor Wembanyama out, Sochan and Devin Vassell stepped up to lead the Spurs to an exciting win over a quality opponent. After suffering a blowout at the hands of the Suns on Saturday, the Spurs faced Phoenix again, this time without Victor Wembanyama, and emerged victorious. San Antonio outhustled their opponent throughout the game and closed it out in great fashion with a game-winner from Jeremy Sochan that sealed the 104-102 win. It was expected that Phoenix might not be as focused to start the game after the absence of Victor...

R.C. Buford is overseas observing draft prospect Zaccharie Risacher

Photo by KONSTANTINOS TSAKALIDIS/SOOC/AFP via Another French phenom? No one would be complaining here. The San Antonio Spurs are entering one of the most important offseasons in franchise history. They got the franchise player of their dreams last summer in Victor Wembanyama, and now it’s time to start building a winning team around him. Most agree that Devin Vassell is his definite number two (for now), and Jeremy Sochan is the next closest thing to “untouchable” on the team after those two, but beyond that, anything could happen. While the Spurs will likely...

Victor Wembanyama dominates in Spurs’ overtime win against the Nets

Photo by Ronald Cortes/ We’ve been on the run, driving in the sun, looking out for number one. The Spurs found some mettle and won an overtime game. Behind their prized rookie (*cough* of the year *cough*), the Silver and Black received a 33 point, 15 rebound, 7 assist, and whopping 7 block game from one Victor Wembanyama. Devin Vassell also shared the load in volume shooting with 25 points and 8 assists. Keldon Johnson was hot from downtown and contributed 24 points with 5 - 8 from three-point land. Plenty of highlights abound, and Wembanyama’s box score stuffing...

San Antonio vs. Houston, Final Score: Spurs rally against Rockets falls short, 101-103

Scott Wachter-USA TODAY Sports An extended stretch of poor offense dooms the Spurs for second straight game. One night after losing the Warriors, the Spurs came out looking for revenge against the Houston Rockets but ended up losing in nearly identical fashion. After a strong start and getting out by double digits, the Spurs offense sputtered in the middle two quarters before attempting a late rally. Down three with four seconds left, Devin Vassell appeared to hit the game-tying three, but the Rockets had elected to foul instead of giving up a three, and because...

San Antonio vs. Golden State, Final Score: Spurs lose steam against Warriors, lose 102-112

Photo by Ronald Cortes/ After one more half of red-hot offense, the Spurs fell back to earth in the second half, just as the Warriors heated up. After a dominant win over Golden State just two nights ago, it seemed like the Spurs would have a good chance sweep the miniseries against the Steph Curry-less Warriors while they got Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell back. At first it seemed like it might be a repeat performance as the Spurs got out to a double-digit lead early in the second half, but after two-and-a-half games, their offense went ice cold while the...

Hot shooting propels Spurs to victory in Golden State

The San Antonio Spurs shot the lights out against the Golden State Warriors en route to a 126-113 victory on the road. The win snapped a five-game losing streak to the Warriors, and was the first time San Antonio has won without Wembanyama this season. The Spurs shot 17-33 from deep (51.5%) compared to Golden State’s 10-30 (33.3%) night. Consistently the ball was being moved from a good shot to a great shot for the Spurs, as they tallied...

Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/ No Wemby, no Vassell, no problem. (And yes, no Curry.) Coming off two very frustrating losses — a pathetic showing in Houston and heartbreaker in Sacramento — you would have been forgiven for not being thrilled about taking in a game in Golden State without Victor Wembanyama (ankle) and Devin Vassell (hip), but if you missed it, you missed a show. While the Warriors were also missing Steph Curry, they still had a lot more to play for (namely, play-in tournament positioning), but the Spurs used a full team effort get ahead early and...

Without Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell, it was an uphill climb for the San Antonio Spurs facing the Golden State Warriors. The rest of the roster stepped up, and hit shot after shot in a 126-113 win on the road. The Spurs shot 51.5% from three (17-33,) and 51.2% from the field.

Victor Wembanyama notched another double-double with 10 points and 11 boards along with 7 blocks. Malaki Branham was a bright spot for the young team with 20 points, and he went 4 for 7 shooting from three. On this play, Branham executed a great move to create space for him...

Photos by Cooper Neill/NBAE via Jeremy Sochan makes an impact off-ball with his cutting ability. The San Antonio Spurs have played two-straight games in which their offense really clicked. They eliminated bad turnovers and moved the ball effectively. In Sunday’s win against the Indiana Pacers the Spurs had 33 assists, with each player tallying at least two. It wasn’t just the passing that made the Spurs offense sing, but their off-ball movement as well. Whether it’s Victor Wembanyama coming off a cross screen, Devin Vassell relocating for a jumper or Malaki...
