I had the opportunity to witness the Spurs’ 120-90 victory over the Phoenix Suns in-person on Halloween and boy did it help me understand this team better.
First and foremost, I have to address that they played a Devin Booker-less Phoenix team, so essentially an AAU team. No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton is impressive and they’ve added some solid veterans to the squad this year but it’s still far from a winning basketball team.
Still, I was very impressed by what I saw from San Antonio on Thursday night. The team operated as a single unit with a clear game plan in mind.
