Pels fall to Spurs

It was a pretty good game until the last five minutes or so. That was when the Spurs unleashed their true team – rolling with Parker-Green-Manu-Leonard-Aldridge – with Mills doing some offense-defense rotations with Manu. The Pels couldn’t figure out what their counter would be. They tried Anderson, but decided he couldn’t guard Kawhi and hid him on Danny Green. So Jrue got to try and handle Kawhi – who punished him in the post repeatedly. Then Dante came in for Anderson – and the Spurs switched the pattern, finding ways to get Aldridge onto Cunningham – and overpowering him.
