We might’ve just witnessed the most frustrating and exciting game of the season, all rolled into one. For most of the night, the Spurs played without energy and looked discombobulated on both ends of the floor. Thankfully, they flipped the switch and turned it on when it mattered most, mounting a furious comeback to win 106-99 against the Bulls.
Right from the tipoff, San Antonio’s offense sputtered, missing wide-open shots and throwing wild passes that were hard to corral. Jakob Poeltl was the only player keeping the good guys in the game, as he scored the first six points for the Spurs while being the team’s rock on defense.
