LOS ANGELES — Oklahoma City continues to look dominant, and San Antonio earned the right to be the next team to test them — and maybe with Victor Wembanyama back in the lineup. Here is what happened on Wednesday night in the Western Conference quarterfinals matchups in the NBA Cup.
San Antonio came in with a plan.
First, get out in transition. Trust the team’s depth of ball handling guards to run past the Lakers — and the Spurs executed that, with a ridiculous 188.9 net rating in transition (stat via Cleaning the Glass).
“I think our pace was great from the start of the game kind of opened up the court for us,” said Stephon Castle, who led the Spurs with 30 points. “They had a couple loud plays, but I feel like we came together and clamped down when we needed it most.”
