I saw an interview with Erik Spoelstra in one of the pregame shows, and I noticed that now that he parts his hair in the middle, he has a strong resemblance to the Dick Tracy villain Flattop.Keldon Johnson had a really good game, but they fell just short in a heartbreak, as they made too many mistakes and turnovers to overcome Young’s overwhelming performance. Devin Vassell was also a reserve tonight, and he looks to be ready to resume being a full time starter as soon as Pop removes the minutes restriction. The Spurs also got a good performance off the bench from Julian Champagnie. Victor Wembanyama played with more purpose and control than many of the games and it made a big difference as he scored 20 with 4 blocks and 2 steals. The Spurs showed a few new wrinkles tonight, with Jeremy Sochan playing a lot of minutes with another guard to share the ball handling duties, and that allowed him a lot more freedom to create his own offense as he played his best game of the season so far, scoring 30 points. The Spurs almost pulled out a win tonight, but the thrilling finish just fell short, and the Spurs lost their 13th game in a row. Offense wasn’t a problem for the Silver and Black, but the defense let them down again late in the game as they lost 137-135 to the Hawks. Not only did he have 45 points and 14 assists, he also made the critical defensive play of the game, taking a charge with 2.7 seconds left to keep Jeremy Sochan from hitting a shot to tie the game. Trae Young was unstoppable tonight, both scoring and distributing the ball to his teammates, but somehow the Spurs made this a competitive game until the last minute, while the inability to stop Trae’s insane shotmaking doomed the Spurs.
