Pounding The Rock • • sports
Key Points:
- The Spurs lost Game 2 after stealing home court advantage in Game 1, with Oklahoma City resetting and playing the type of game that kept them atop the Western Conference all season.
- De’Aaron Fox missed his second straight game due to a right high ankle sprain, and Dylan Harper exited with a hamstring injury after colliding with Chet Holmgren, who also left the game.
- Coach Mitch Johnson indicated no official updates on Harper’s status, while Jordan McLaughlin saw increased minutes in Game 2, contributing effectively with perfect three-point shooting.
- Stephon Castle took responsibility for the loss, citing his nine turnovers as a key factor, but emphasized the need to quickly refocus as the Spurs prepare for Game 3 in front of their home crowd.
- The Spurs remain united and determined, with praise from Coach Johnson and Victor Wembanyama highlighting Castle’s warrior mentality and overall team connectivity heading into the next game.
