The San Antonio Spurs comeback victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night was a gritty effort and a welcome surprise. After being down 23 points in the first half, the Spurs somehow found a way to carve into the Thunder’s big lead and steal the victory.
One of the things the Silver and Black did as they fought their way back into the game was having both Patty Mills and DeJounte Murray race up the court as soon as they got the ball. Instead of taking their time getting up the court and allowing the Thunder to settle into their defense, the Spurs were very aggressive in transition and early offense.
