The San Antonio Spurs suffered an embarrassing 38-point blowout at the hands of the Houston Rockets in their preseason opener on Sunday night, looking disoriented without a surefire go-to option on the floor. Despite an inadequate performance on the road, there were positive takeaways from rookies Malaki Branham and Jeremy Sochan.
The Silver and Black will have a chance to redeem themselves at home as they host the similarly young and inexperienced Orlando Magic in front of what should be an exuberant audience at the AT&T Center. This matchup has all the makings of a back-and-forth battle, so buckle up as fresh and familiar faces look to create some synergy.
