Here’s what Gregg Popovich had to say about Sunday’s loss to the Hawks, “It was a great game. It was a good win for those guys. It would have been a good win for us. I thought both teams played pretty well.” When San Antonio plays teams coached by Pop’s former assistants, every result must dial up some pretty mixed emotions. The Spurs didn’t prevail in Atlanta, but we can still marvel at some excellent basketball.
The first basket of the game comes as Danny Green drives and kicks the ball to LaMarcus Aldridge who makes his move.
