AUSTIN – Spurs coach Gregg Popovich often curtly dismisses reporters questions about his defensive trade secrets. 'What do you want me to do? Put on a clinic?' he says frequently. But there was Popovich on Friday night doing something along those lines in front of the record crowd of 16,223 packed into the Moody Center for the Spurs' 117-106 loss to Denver.
For Victor Wembanyama, the power of politeness prevails 'It gives him more confidence offensively, actually,' Popovich said of Wesley's defensive prowess. 'He feels a little bit more like he's in the game and you'll see him driving it more.' With Wesley hounding him off and on through the first three quarters, Murray went into the fourth period with just four points on 2-of-7 shooting.
What Victor Wembanyama can learn from Nikola Jokic 'My mentality now is to dunk it,' Wesley said. 'I've been laying the ball up too many times, so when I have a clear lane, I try to dunk everything.' It's a great strategy for a player blessed with great athleticism. 'He has all the bounce in the world,' Spurs forward/center Dominick Barlow said. 'It's like he's a pogo stick. And he doesn't need to really wind up. He's explosive as hell.
