Jeremy Sochan, the second-year San Antonio Spurs power forward-turned-point guard, gathers the ball with a 1-point lead and 2:30 left in the second quarter of a Nov. 14 road game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

As Sochan rushes up the court, he doesn't look over at Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who is trying to call a specific play. While the Spurs' offense is in action, Popovich implores Sochan to look at him next time.

The Spurs possession ends in a missed 7-foot jumper by Malaki Branham, and Josh Giddey corrals the rebound and quickly drives down the court, blowing past Sochan for a transition layup to give the Thunder a lead they would never relinquish in what turns into a 123-87 rout.
