The regular season finally resumed for the Spurs, and they got off on the right foot with an assertive win over a foe directly in their path for the postseason: the Sacramento Kings. The offense was on fire almost all night, and although the defense wasn’t great and they had one of their signature lapses after building a large early lead, they fought back, asserted their dominance late, and actually closed a game strong for the 127-120 win: a good sign that this team is improving.
DeMar DeRozan led the way with 27 points on 10-13 shooting, 10 assists and 5 rebounds, and Derrick White was phenomenal all game with 26 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
