The Spurs came to Indiana looking to bounce back from yesterday’s debacle in Madison Square Garden. After a sloppy first quarter-and-a-half, the Spurs finally showed some signs of life beyond Kawhi Leonard and got the win against a gritty and rapidly improving Pacers team.
The offense started a little stagnant, with individual shooting taking more precedent than team play. A Dewayne Dedmon alley-oop from Danny Green got the Spurs up 13-9, but a quick 7-0 run from the Pacers prompted Pop to call a timeout with 5:20 left in the first quarter.
