Coming off a blowout loss in front of an NBA-record 68,323 fans at the Alamodome versus the Golden State Warriors, the Spurs looked to get a home win back in the AT&T Center. Unfortunately, they ran into another hot-shooting California team. After leading 64-63 at halftime, the Sacramento Kings outscored the Spurs 39-26 in the third quarter and never looked back. The Spurs suffered their 16th home loss of the season 132-119 despite three players scoring 20+ points.
Jakob Poeltl led the team with 23 points (10-12 FG), seven rebounds, two assists, and two blocks. Here, he takes the Tre Jones feed for the and-one finish.

Keldon Johnson was the third player with at least 20 points for the Spurs, also finishing with seven rebounds and three assists.
He was the recipient of a lot of and-ones in this game, so let’s start out with this great finish early in the first.
