End of the 4th: Spurs edge past Wiz, 100-85

• Tiago Splitter seeing his first action of the game, starts the 4th.
• Halfway through the quarter, Nando de Colo gets his first minutes. New HVC?
• Over all, Spurs defense allowed fewer easier shots and second chance points to the Wizards, when compared to the first half.
• about 4:30 left in the game, Pop uses a lineup of Cory Joseph, Patty Mills, Nando de Colo, Gary Neal, Josh Powell. (Ultra small ball). Tiago Splitter re-entered a few minutes later for Gary Neal.
• This lineup finished the game for the Spurs to a 100-85 victory.

End of the 3rd: Spurs lead 74-66

• Wizards come out of the half shooting back-to-back 3 pointers.
• Pop must have made a HELL of a halftime speech because the Spurs come out playing some pretty fluid defense.
• Patty Mills given minutes in the last 3 minutes of the 3rd. Immediately makes an impact finding open players on the fast break.
• Spurs gain the lead 74-66 after a great quarter of defense.

End of the 2nd: Spurs trail 48-47

• Pop ran a lineup of Gary Neal, Danny Green, Stephen Jackson, Matt Bonner, DeJuan Blair through the first half of the 2nd quarter. It didn't work out. Jan Vesely tore up our defense.
• Spurs have tried letting different players run the plays, such as Gary Neal and Kawhi Leonard, but none have been as successful as Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, tonight

• Spurs trail 48-47 at the half
