Wemby on Zach Collins tonight, where Zach had 28 points and 3 steals: “On offense, he was just playing right and on defense he was doing a great job getting into the guys. I think for all of us, it was a pleasure playing with him and seeing him play that way tonight.” – 12:27 AM

The triple take: Kings 129, Spurs 120

Another thing to watch entering the fourth: Wemby is without a block, which would snap an 11-game streak to open his career.
Thought he could have been awarded one there late in the third quarter, but no home cookin’ at the Frost. – 9:31 PM

This is some of the best defense I’ve seen from the Spurs in years.
Wemby at the 5 blows up so many screening actions, and this zone without him is so active, so disruptive.
Communicating, rotating, gorgeous. – 8:31 PM
