Spurs’ starters all log double-digits in late loss to Kings
Spurs kick off the return from all-star break with a high-scoring classic.
Coming out of the All-Star break, the San Antonio Spurs were looking to get a victory in Sacramento over the Kings. In what seemed like a back-and-forth affair from start to finish, the Spurs had a lead of four points with roughly two minutes to go. Unfortunately, they were unable to contain De’Aaron Fox in the clutch and ultimately lost 127-122.
Devin Vassell was a big reason the Spurs stayed in the game throughout. He was unconscious from the field with 32 points on 13 of 18 shooting to go along with seven assists and a rebound.
Here Devin shows off the crafty finish over former Spur Trey Lyles.

Victor Wembanyama had a solid game with 19 points, 13 rebounds, five blocks, five steals, and four assists. He was one assist shy of a 5×5 game!
Here he gets the Spurs’ first points since the all-star break.

If Wemby is wide open in the paint, get out of the way. Cedi Osman finds him for the easy two-handed jam!

It’s not a Wemby highlight reel without a defensive highlight. Alex Len thought he had an easy dunk but Wemby swats it off the backboard! Keldon Johnson then drains a three at the other end.
KJ for threeeeee! pic.twitter.com/svZ9xhcgTo

The most underrated play of the night: Keldon saves the ball from going out of bounds and finds Cedi for the assist! Keldon finished with 18 points off the bench to go along with four rebounds, three assists, and a steal.
