The Spurs’ blitzed the Raptors with smart defense and dribble penetration

The Spurs sprinted out of the gate to a 19 point lead in less than 9 minutes against the Raptors on Thursday night. With 10 points scored on fast breaks contributing to 20 points in the paint in just the 1st quarter, the Spurs’ advantage was largely predicated on their ability to stop penetration on one end and create it on the other.

The last possession of that run on both sides of the floor is a great example.

Kawhi Leonard brings the ball down the right side of the floor and Derrick White picks him up just outside the three point line.
