Veterans power Spurs second unit past Kings on road, 112-103.

The Spurs rested their stars on this second night of a back-to-back after a huge victory in L.A last night. It appeared to be a blowout in the making as the Kings broke out to a big lead, but the Spurs fought back hard to overcome a 15-PT hole early, only losing the 1st Quarter by three points, and used their savvy veteran experience to pull out the upset despite a big night for Marvin Bagley, III (25 points, 16 rebounds).

A dunk show by new Sac-Town superman,Aaron Gordon (18 points, 8 rebounds), was spoiled by Joe Harris going supernova for 27 points, hitting 7 three-point bombs, double teams be damned. Fred VanVleet was also clutch for 19 points on three 3s, showcasing his playmaking abilities in tandem with Rajon Rondo (9 assists). Jarrett Allen shined once again as the starting Center, dropping 14 points & 18 rebounds with a tremendous 6 blocks, making it financially tougher for the Spurs to extend his contract as the trade deadline looms near.

The Rest:

Trey Lyles was cold early, but redeemed himself for 11 points. Kent Bazemore played only the second half, given his effort last game, but managed 11 points also. Allen Crabbe & P.J. Tucker combined for 20 points. For Sac-Town, Richaun Holmes had 16 points & 7 rebounds. Kyle Kuzma & De'Aaron Fox combined for 24 points & 20 assists, but Fox had a cold shooting night. The Spurs won the second half, 34-26 & 27-20 to pull off the upset.
