The Spurs capped off their first undefeated preseason since Tim Duncan’s rookie year with a lopsided 133-104 win over the Indiana Pacers.
Victor Wembanyama led San Antonio with 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Stephon Castle dazzled the home crowd with 16 points, 9 assists and his signature highlight reel dunks. After the game Castle addressed the optimism around the team.
“There definitely is a different energy,” Castle told reporters. “I feel like coming into the season guys are a lot more locked in. We have obviously high expectations for this year, so maybe that changes things a little bit, but the energy’s been great all training camp.”
After a three-game homestand that closes out against the Heat this Thursday, the Spurs take a quick trip west with stops in Phoenix and Los Angeles versus the Lakers.
The timely return of De’Aaron Fox and emergence of rookie Dylan Harper round out one of the most intriguing three-guard rotations in recent memory as San Antonio looks to keep pace in a crowded Western Conference.
