Good golly. Trae is sharp. Hawks had an opportunity to force a jump ball. He had best angle but Capela was there too, so he stabbed at the ball and dragged out the play until Clint’s hands were there.
He wanted Clint jumping, not himself. – 9:59 PM

Spurs need a real PG leader – Lot of scorers but no playmaker or leader on the floor. Great young talent out there but needs a quarterback. – 9:57 PM

A Trae Young transition 3, and the Spurs have their nightly double-digit deficit at 75-63. I’m assuming the nightly “spirited rally that makes things a little interesting” will follow. – 9:47 PM

It’s usually the 3-point line that gets the Spurs, but not tonight. They are winning that battle by six at half.
Unfortunately they are getting outshot by 10 percent overall (53% to 43%). – 9:43 PM

Halftime at the AT&T Center, and Spurs seem on the way another well-played loss. Down 65-58 vs. Atlanta, despite doing a lot of things right. We’ll see if the Spurs can rewrite the ending in the second half. – 9:29 PM
