Entering a pivotal matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, the Spurs would be shorthanded without two of their most essential stars, but in the end, it didn't matter. The Silver and Black would take home the victory 135-126 and now head into a dangerous road trip feeling ecstatic.
Fueled by massive runs in the 2nd and 4th quarters, the Spurs took this game away from the Hawks with authority. Further, the Spurs' season-high 74 points in the first half propelled them to victory. Against all odds, the Spurs had one of their best offensive performances of the year with Wembanyama, Castle, and Harper sidelined, and you won't believe who stepped up.
