The San Antonio Spurs dropped a close one to the Golden State Warriors, 85-86, relinquishing a 17-point third-quarter lead and falling a literal last-second turnover away from picking up their first win in Las Vegas. Though the good guys are 0-2 at Summer League, they showed more cohesion as a unit, especially on the defensive end.
San Antonio entered a packed Thomas and Mack Center as underdogs to a team that featured a pair of recent top ten picks in James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga, and the audience offered ear-piercing support for the 2022 NBA champions. Despite the uphill battle, the shorthanded Summer Spurs competed from start to finish.
