After a stretch of frustrating losses, there’s finally some San Antonio Spurs news we can all be happy about. The Spurs came out strong with a hot-shooting first half and followed it up by holding off a second-half Utah Jazz comeback attempt in order to hold on to a 127-120 victory.
With LaMarcus Aldridge sitting out again, Jakob Poelt got the start in tonight’s game. We also saw plenty of Rudy Gay, with Trey Lyles and Chimezie Metu providing additional support. The result was a Spurs offense that frequently ran with just one traditional big man and sometimes in five out sets.
