Earl Watson’s young Phoenix Suns team was able to keep pace with the San Antonio Spurs for almost three and a half quarters, but late in the game the veteran Spurs exerted their will and took the game away. Kawhi Leonard started the run with an incredible takeaway and score off a Chandler Parsons rebound, and newcomer Dewayne Dedmon made major contributions with spectacular defensive plays and high-flying dunks. But this was a night when everyone in silver and black played well, with all 13 active players seeing action and Davis Bertans the Spur without any points.
Game Flow:
Marquise Criss opened the scoring for the Suns with an three-point shot from the elbow.
