Spurs land at top of fascinating stat despite their snail’s pace playstyle

The Spurs are off to an electric start to begin the 2025-26 season. Reloaded with Victor Wembanyama's improvements and a bolstered supporting cast, the Spurs are playing like a whole new squad. At 4-0, it is clear things have shifted drastically in San Antonio.
