Final: Spurs 124, Kings 109
San Antonio easily gets the win over Sacramento for their 7th straight win and 1st win in NBA Cup play.
Wemby 30 pts, 14 reb
Harper/Castle/Vassell 19 pts each.
The Spurs' human victory cigar in the form of Tarris Reed Jr is now in the game. This one is firmly in hand.
End of 3Q: Spurs 99, Kings 80
3rd ends even 24-24 and San Antonio's lead is 19. Not the best quarter from the Spurs, but they'll take being up double digits going into the final 12 minutes.
Wemby 24 pts, 13 reb
Castle 19 pts, 6 ast
Harper 17 pts, 3 ast
Mitch Johnson calls a timeout and he's not happy with Champagnie after he watches a loose ball get picked up by Sacramento and they score the easy bucket. Spurs lead 86-71 in the 3Q.
Stephen Michael retweeted
See I want to see more Reed too and I think he would bring a good impact to rebounding.
But I can’t say that a player with 3 real competitive NBA minutes is going to be a better rim protector than a guy who has been top 10~15 in the league in that for the last half decade
Mitch Johnson calls timeout as the Spurs are cold to start the 3Q, missing all six of their shots. San Antonio's lead down to 75-61 with 8:48 remaining in the 3rd.
Wemby takes the floor to start the second half after twisting his ankle in the last 30 seconds of the 2Q.
Halftime: Spurs 75, Kings 56
San Antonio wins the 2Q 37-27 to take control of the game going into the second half. The concern is Wemby's ankle right now, but he seemed to be okay going into the locker room.
Wemby 20 pts, 8 reb
Castle 10 pts, 5 ast
Sabonis is called for a flagrant foul penalty one after a reckless closeout on Wemby, not giving him space to land and twisting his ankle.
Wemby to the line for 3 free throws.
Spurs on a 15-3 run to take their biggest lead of the night has Doug Christie needing another timeout. #PorVida
