Coming off a loss to the Dallas Mavericks this past Thursday, the Spurs tried to put an end to their franchise-worst losing streak of 15 games. They faced the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City Saturday night, and they were in control of the game..... in the first half. After an offensive explosion in the first quarter and leading 65-55 at halftime, the Spurs were outscored in the third quarter 30-14 and never recovered. They lost 118-102 despite all starters scoring in double figures.
Jeremy Sochan returned from injury by leading the Spurs with 22 points to go along with six rebounds and two assists. Another solid outing from Jeremy. With more performances like this, he’ll be a lock for an All-Rookie Team.
He got the first points on the board from either team with a three.

Here’s Jeremy putting in some post work on Juan Toscano-Anderson. He’s not afraid to get a bucket the hard way.

Important to note: anytime you see the caption “tuff bucket”, just know it was most likely KJ’s.

Speaking of tough finishes, somehow this one was even tougher. KJ looks like he’s upgraded his layup package.
How did he do that?? @spurs | #PorVida pic.twitter.com/71aV9iFyjn

Zach Collins shows off the range from three off the KJ feed. He shot 3-6 from three-point land. If he consistently continues to make more threes, he could be even more deadly. Zach finished with 15 points, five rebounds, two assists, a steal, and two blocks.

Certified Sochan Moment: After converting an and-one while Kris Dunn was draped all over him, Jeremy took exception to the foul and shoved Dunn. Dunn shoved back but players and refs quickly intervened. Not sure how it would have played out, but you know for sure Jeremy wasn’t going to back down. Say it with me now: You Don’t Mess With The Sochan.
