The San Antonio Spurs suffered a difficult loss in the NBA Cup final on Tuesday night in Las Vegas. But in the loss, we were shown what will be this team's ideal closing lineup in a playoff setting. San Antonio would do best to roll with Victor Wembanyama, Devin Vassell, and three other guards on the floor.
This approach is the Spurs' best bet because of how it will force opposing teams to stick a larger center on Wembanyama while giving San Antonio a five-out look offensively. It gets their best players on the floor and puts them in the best position to be successful as a unit.
