Led by Devin Vassell, San Antonio gets contributions from up and down the roster to knock...
Houston Rockets forward Kenyon Martin Jr. dunks the ball around San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell in the first half at the Toyota Center on Monday, Dec. 19, 2022 in Houston.HOUSTON — Guiding the youngest roster of his career, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has learned to balance the carrot and the stick.
Each of the five bench players who logged more than three minutes scored in double figures - Doug McDermott , Malaki Branham , Jeremy Sochan 12 and Stanley Johnson and Zach Collins . For those hoping the Spurs will maximize their draft slot this summer, Monday’s win was a Pyrrhic one. Vassell was more than just a scorer Monday. He also handed out five assists, second on the team behind Tre Jones’ eight.
So much of this season is about Vassell finding his spots and take on a greater role in the offense. That becomes magnified on nights like Monday, when his chief running mate was out with an injury.There was a time, not too long ago, when the Spurs’ approach against Houston meant weathering a 3-point barrage and hoping to score enough from the 2-point areas to offset the Rockets’ long-range bombing.Houston outscored the Spurs in the paint by 20 points Monday .
