Collins brought up a familiar problem for Spurs:
“We had a lot of miscommunication on switching. They just got a lot of easy looks.”
Why so many communication breakdowns?
“Probably because we are young, trying to figure it out, and it’s hard to get practice time in the NBA.” – 11:21 PM

OKC has won 4 of their past 5 games.
OKC’s last 3 losses are by a combined 7 points.
OKC has the same record as Toronto, an East play-in team.
OKC is 1 game behind the Warriors for the last West play-in spot.
Not bad for a rebuilding team without the #2 overall pick. – 10:32 PM

The Spurs announced a little while ago they’ve surpassed 50,000 tickets sold for the Jan. 13 game against the Warriors at the Alamodome, the most tickets ever sold for a Spurs game. – 4:50 PM

Malaki Branham has finally started to connect from the outside as of late, but that’s really only part of the story.
Over the last few games the Spurs have trusted the rookie enough to give him ball-handling responsibilities, and so far it’s paying off.

Spurs say they’ve sold 50,000-plus tickets for their return to the Alamodome on Jan. 13 vs. GSW.
The club is striving to draw more than 62,046 to set an NBA record set by Atlanta when it hosted Chicago in 1998. Only 3 games in league history been attended by more than 50,000. – 4:30 PM

I am fascinated by the process of the Thunder assigning players to the G-League and how it works so well, so I wrote this story about the planned assignments and why they are effective:

The Spurs say they have sold 50,000 tickets for their Jan. 13 home game against Golden State at the Alamodome. They need a crowd that tops 62,046 to set an NBA record.

I asked Kameron Woods what the dialog between him and Mark Daigneault is like when these planned assignments like Tre Mann pop up “It is cohesive, always a plan, me and Mark talk pretty regularly so those conversations are free flowing and in the normal day-to-day.” – 3:38 PM

Kameron Woods told me of Jaylin Williams triple-double “I was really impressed. He does such a good job vocally leading us, the big thing for him as much as we throw the ball to him he did not have any turnovers.” – 3:35 PM

Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
After a few days off, the Thunder returns to action to take on the San Antonio Spurs. OKC will look to apply high-pressure defense and efficient offensive possessions, against a disciplined Spurs squad.

Devin Vassell on Tre Jones’ helping the Spurs secure a 4-point win over the Jazz with back-to-back driving baskets in the final 35 seconds:
“He’s probably one of the fastest people in the NBA. Good luck trying to stay in front of him.” – 2:21 PM

Blake Wesley has been assigned to the Austin Spurs, per team.
Unclear at this point if he’ll be called back up when San Antonio returns from this quick roadie to OKC, but at the very least he’ll be getting some practices under his belt in the meantime. – 2:09 PM
