Open Thread: Spurs release behind the scenes series on Summer League
Part I focuses on the California Classic
Summer League has ended for our San Antonio Spurs. After three games in Las Vegas, they were one of five undefeated teams. Unfortunately, they lost their fourth game to the Philadelphia 76ers, stunting their championship run.
Last night, they played their fifth and final Las Vegas Summer League game and dominated the Toronto Raptors for a majority of the evening.
During Summer League, the Spurs produced a twenty-seven minute behind the scenes video that posted on YouTube. Part one highlighted the California Classic, a prelude to the larger Las Vegas Summer League.

The video starts with Summer League head coach Kenny Trevino rallying the team and sharing some thoughts on bonding and teamwork before moving into draft and media day footage.
Stephon Castle, drafted fourth overall, and Harrison Ingram, forty-eighth pick were both placed into a rapid exposure to the team, the city, and the expectations of Summer League.
Along with Sidy Cissoko, who was rehabbing after knee surgery, the Spurs were also represented by some of their G-League members as well as some hopefuls and un-drafted young men hoping to make it onto someone’s radar.
The Spurs went 1-2 in Sacramento, dropping their first two games against the Charlotte Hornets and one of the Kings. Their lone win was against the Chinese National Team who competed in the three-day competition.
They learned about teamwork and made improvements within the small timeframe in California.
As Coach Trevino shared closing out the series:
“And we now know it’s about our defense. our defense makes our offense that much easier. We’ll take this right into Vegas, we’ve got our momentum.”
