The first bitterness in history cannot wait
The San Antonio Spurs suffered three straight losses and their 25th win of the season is delayed, which may be an insignificant number for many, but for Popovich, it is the number one win in history. With just one more win, Popovich will equal Don Nelson's 1,335 win. Everyone is waiting for this moment to come, looking forward to being a witness. In this game, the Spurs will challenge the Charlotte Hornets, the tenth-largest team in the East.
The Hornets originally had a very good record, but in the last 14 games, they have only won 3 games, which has put them down to the tenth place in the East. Because of Lamelo Ball, the Hornets are third in the league in terms of assists per game, and the first team is the San Antonio Spurs. So in this game, whoever can play a better team fit, who can laugh to the end.
The Spurs fell short
At the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams played a smooth offense, although Murray did not score a point on 5 shooting, only delivered 4 assists, but the other reverse leader Kelden Johnson, 7 of 7, bombed 17 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Vasell also had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, the Spurs scored 30 points in a single quarter, but the Hornets scored 31 points. After returning from the second quarter, Murray regained his touch, scoring 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals on 3-of-5 shooting, Johnson had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and the Spurs scored another 30 points in a single quarter.
But the Hornets are also really good, Lamelo Ball has 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-5 shooting, Rochelle also has 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and the team still has 31 points in the single quarter, so at the end of halftime, the Hornets led the Spurs by 2 points 62-60. In the second half, the two teams' offensive status was even higher, Murray had 8 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, Johnson had 10 points and 3 rebounds, the Spurs exploded with 37 points in a single quarter, but the Hornets also scored 37 points, and Rozier ushered in an outbreak, scoring 16 points and 1 assist in the quarter.
In the final quarter of the game, the Spurs continued to chase, Murray once again carried the team, with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, but Johnson lost his grip and did not score a point on 0-of-5 shooting. The Spurs narrowed the gap to two points in the final 44.8 seconds, but the Spurs then missed three consecutive three-pointers and missed opportunities. In the end, the Charlotte Hornets narrowly defeated the San Antonio Spurs at home 123-117 and won two consecutive games.
I really want to use the Lakers as a background board
The San Antonio Spurs lost again, and with the first game in history away, Popovich lost four consecutive games, and even let the rookie Primo appear in the final moments of this game, it is obvious that this is not wanting to win! From here, it can be seen that Popovich may be playing a small calculation, hoping to achieve the record of the first win in history in the next game against the Lakers. The Spurs' two reverse charts were both outstanding, with Murray scoring a quasi-triple-double of 25 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, and Johnson having 33 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.
The Spurs delivered 28 assists and only 10 turnovers in this game, which is still the level of the league's first. The Hornets, though, were even better, delivering 29 assists and just nine turnovers. Lamelo Bauer got 24 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, continuing to show his talent, Rochelle is 31 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, the team's scoring king, in addition, the team has 5 people to score in double figures, that is to say, the Hornets this game, a full 7 people scored in double figures, winning this game, it is also reasonable.
