The Spurs’ Jakob Poeltl battles the Brooklyn Nets’ Ben Simmons for a rebound during their game at the AT&T Center on Tuesday.Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was unimpressed with the star power Brooklyn had on its inactive list Tuesday.It didn’t matter the Nets came to the AT&T Center without the services of All-Stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Popovich didn’t care about the star-studded state of Brooklyn’s inactive list Tuesday. He was just glad his team guarded somebody, anybody.They had allowed 120 points in five consecutive games — all losses — including 130 in three straight.It marked the third time this season the Spurs had limited an opponent to 100 points or less. It was the first time since a 111-93 win over Milwaukee on Nov. 11.
After Brooklyn tied the score at 58 on a Nic Claxton layup with 9:03 remaining in the third, the Spurs kept the Nets to 10 points the remainder of the quarter.2. Johnson’s fourth quarter was a thing of beautyHe was 8 of 34 from the 3-point stripe in January before taking the floor, and didn’t exactly improve that with a 3 of 11 3-point night against the Nets.He had 14 of his points in the fourth quarter, and the Spurs worked to stave off a Brooklyn rally.
A tough, contested jumper over Royce O’Neal gave the Spurs’ a nine-point edge with four minutes left. A few moments after that, Johnson had another dunk for a seven-point lead, then swished another 3-pointer that put the Spurs up 102-94 with 57.3 to play.
