The 2021 NBA Summer League is underway in Las Vegas, and for a “re-tooling” San Antonio Spurs roster, the tournament is significant. For anyone expecting a smooth process, look away now, because four straight losses for the Summer League team is forecasting anything but.
Losing is never easy, but it arguably hurts more when victory was so close. On Monday night, the San Antonio Spurs fought hard against Minnesota’s summer squad but fell in the end 91-89.
The Minnesota Timberwolves looked more athletic throughout the game, winning with an old-school approach of inside scoring versus San Antonio’s perimeter approach.
