The Spurs steal a win after an insane fourth quarter with over-the-backboard shots and snatch blocks.
The episode opens with the hosts reacting to the Spurs' insane fourth-quarter comeback against the Raptors, featuring over-the-backboard shots and snatch blocks. They highlight the team's balanced scoring effort, led by Devin Vassell with 21 points and five threes, and note the Spurs haven't lost since January. The discussion shifts to Vassell's rising three-point percentage, nearing 39%, and his role as an X-factor that elevates the team to contender status. The hosts mention the Spurs' record when shooting at least 35% from three is now 28-5. They delve into the team's resilience, noting they've improved to 6-8 when trailing by 15 points in a game. The 10-game winning streak is emphasized as the first since 2016, with the win against the Raptors being crucial. Rookie Dylan Harper's performance is praised, including 15 points in the first half and clutch plays like inbounding the ball up three late in the game. The hosts commend coach Mitch Johnson for trusting Harper in high-pressure situations. They preview the upcoming tough schedule, including games against the Knicks, Celtics, and Nuggets, and express confidence that the Spurs are the scariest team in the West. Victor Wembanyama's off-night shooting is discussed, but his defensive impact with five blocks and a plus-19 rating is highlighted as game-changing. The hosts note how Wembanyama's presence forces other players to step up, contributing to the win. They conclude by celebrating the streak and looking ahead to the next game against the Brooklyn Nets.
