Standout performances from Julian Champagnie (5 threes), Harrison Barnes (4 threes), Wemby (2 threes), Lindy Waters (3 threes), and others. 2.

Just roll back the minutes because you don’t really need them out there.’” “Mike Jimenez: ‘Spurs shot 52% from 3 last night… 25 for 49. 51 and change percent on the night.’” Join the live chat during the next episode!
