Both offenses, as expected, came out guns blazing. After a few simple transition plays courtesy of Dejounte Murray’s feisty defense, both teams settled in and got what they wanted in the halfcourt.
San Antonio’s screen game was working well, as the Suns had a hard time containing and rotating to take away what the Spurs wanted to do. LaMarcus Aldridge got free for a pick-and-pop three, DeMar DeRozan worked the spots few even want to go to anymore, and Devin Booker lost Bryn Forbes for a corner three.
