The Spurs are becoming one of the NBA’s most prolific teams from beyond the arc.
San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell shoots over Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns during the second half of an NBA basketball game, Monday, Oct. 24, 2022, in Minneapolis. Fifteen seconds into Saturday’s game in Denver, Spurs forward Keldon Johnson caught a pass on the right wing and up-faked his defender off his feet.“My first or second year, I would have ripped straight to the basket,” Johnson said.
San Antonio Spurs' Keldon Johnson shoots as he is defended by Minnesota Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert, left, and D'Angelo Russell during the second half of an NBA basketball game, Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022, in San Antonio. San Antonio won 107-98. These numbers jumped off the page to Denver coach Michael Malone as uncharacteristic of a Gregg Popovich-coached team — and that before the Spurs went 12 of 30 on Saturday.Probably, it is a little bit of both.
Five members of the Spurs’ regular playing rotation are shooting at least 40 percent from 3-point range. “The way we play, we try to share the ball and move it on offense,” Jones said. “A lot of times, it’s coming back to me at the end of those plays. I’ve got to be ready to step up and hit those shots.”
“A lot of guys will have some hesitancy, because they are team players,” Popovich said. “They think, ‘If I take this and it doesn’t go in, oh my gosh …’ ”In Friday’s loss to the L.A. Clippers, Jones made a career-high three 3-pointers on four attempts.
