The San Antonio Spurs kicked off their Rodeo Road Trip Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Without the assistance of Kawhi Leonard, who was a late scratch due to a quad injury, the Spurs came up short, losing 89-74.
On Wednesday night, Leonard made his return as the Spurs took on the Embiid-less 76ers, winning a close game, 111-103.
Summarizing Pop postgame: Spurs didn't play very well. Won because they finally perked up in 4Q + have Kawhi Leonard. 76ers impressive.

Gregg Popovich, along with some of the more skeptical Spurs fans, weren’t happy with the Spurs performance.
