Last night's NBA Cup semifinal between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs lived up to its billing. Mitch Johnson's team played in a game with true playoff intensity and earned a 111–109 win against the reigning champions.
Former NBA head coach Stan Van Gundy called for San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama to change his nickname from "Alien" to something else.
The San Antonio Spurs held off the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday, Dec. 10 in a 132-119 victory in the final game of the NBA Cup quarterfinals. San Antonio had seven different players reach double figures in scoring, but guard Stephon Castle posted a 30-point double-double with 10 rebounds and 6 assists.
Danny Green is convinced that the San Antonio Spurs have a bona fide star in Stephon Castle. The three-time NBA champion even shared that the young player is making a strong case to be part of a Big Three setting alongside Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox.
Johnson's early 3-point barrage helped the Spurs beat the Lakers and get to Las Vegas, where Victory Wembanyama might return.
