The clock read 1.9 seconds. Utah Jazz big man Kyle Filipowski stormed around the court screaming, \u201cThis is my (expletive)\u201d and a few other curse words. He was rightfully fired up after a game-tying poster dunk over San Antonio Spurs rookie Carter Bryant. His exuberance would be short-lived.<\/p>\n

San Antonio drew up a play to get Bryant some revenge with a lob or give the ball to their second overall pick, Dylan Harper, who had sent the game to overtime with a game-tying layup at the end of regulation. With neither option open, the ball found the hands of undrafted free agent turned two-way player, Riley Minix. The Morehead State product quickly turned to the baseline and put up a prayer fadeaway that splashed in to secure a 93-91 win over the Jazz.<\/p>\n

With the win, the Spurs improved to 3-0 in the Las Vegas Summer League<\/a> and have a +29 point differential. A win on Thursday night against the Charlotte Hornets would likely put San Antonio in the semi-finals with a chance to win the summer league championships.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t hang banners for summer league titles, but it\u2019s great to see the young squad competing at a high level. The communication, defensive effort, and resilience are exactly what you\u2019d like to see from a group of young, hungry players.<\/p>\n

Chief among those players is David Jones-Garcia, who had another great game for the Spurs. He finished with 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists while shooting 5-11 from three. Jones-Garcia is having an unbelievable summer league run. Forget a two-way contract, he deserves a full-time roster spot. Whether it is in San Antonio or elsewhere. Typically, the \u201ctoo good for summer league\u201d title is reserved for second-year players who are forced to play a few games before getting shut down. Jones-Garcia is the rare G Leaguer who is truly too good for this stage. He\u2019s ready for the NBA.<\/p>\n

Harper was solid in his second summer league game. He had 16 points, but struggled with turnovers, coughing up the ball 5 times. Bryant\u2019s offensive woes continued as he finished with 5 points on 2-11 shooting from the field. He continues to shine on the defensive end and had two blocks in the win.<\/p>\n

This was a bounce-back game for Harrison Ingram, who has struggled a bit in the summer league. He made good passes and fought hard on the glass. He notched a double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds while tossing 6 assists.<\/p>\n

The Spurs will have a tough test ahead of them in the Hornets, who are also undefeated. Harper\u2019s status will be one to watch. He played 25 minutes, more than the 20-minute restriction San Antonio put him on in his first game. Either way, the Spurs should have plenty of exciting players to watch as the summer league comes to a close.<\/p>\n
