San Antonio eked out a 96-91 win at home against a shorthanded Dallas Mavericks squad, and Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich didn’t feel his team deserved the win. “I thought we showed a lack of humility, a lack of respect for the opponent, a very pathetic performance on both ends of the court, both in execution and in grunt, in fiber, in desire. It was an awful performance.”
It wasn’t pretty, but it obviously wasn’t all bad for the Spurs seeing as they won the game. Kawhi Leonard led the team as he usually does with 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists, and while the starting point guard and power forward rested, the second stringers put in work.
