Takeaways from the Spurs 112-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks: - This game should've never been that close. I cannot believe that holding onto leads is still an issue. - They played with so much energy in the first half and then tried to sleepwalk the rest of the way. - That being said, Victor Wembanyama is the greatest ever. - Dylan Harper was big all night long. He's becoming a truly elite scorer. - At some point Stephon Castle has to stop shooting the ball. - Devin Vassell and Julian Champagnie were nothing short of awful tonight. - De'Aaron Fox was pretty bad too, but better than all the guys I just mentioned. - Keldon Johnson was making just stupid decisions. - Luke Kornet is unplayable. I'm not sure why he's still getting more minutes. - Harrison Barnes got Carter Bryant's minutes tonight incase anyone noticed. - At some point I thought Mitch Johnson would tell them to stop shooting threes, but he never did. - But of course when they attacked the basket and took more efficient shots, they found success. - I think you have to reopen conversations about bringing Dylan off the bench as good as he is, because the bench has no spark whatsoever. - Very pleased with just 10 turnovers in a game that got very physical down the stretch. - But only forcing eight turnovers is unacceptable. - In a game where the Spurs shouldn't shoot, they only logged 13 fast break points. That has to be their identity. - Dallas did a good job in the second half of throwing different looks at Wemby, but the Spurs kept finding him. - Naji Marshall Was shooting 18.8% from three before tonight just FYI. - Once Wemby was in attack mode, he couldn't be stopped. Wasn't taking too many threes until late. - And these non-Wemby minutes are getting rougher by the day. - A win is a win, but this felt like a game we saw in June. Shouldn't have been on such a historic night for Victor and this team. 6-2. #PorVida
