Spurs Film Study: Dissecting a Defensive Disasterclass

Should fans be worried about San Antonio's atrocious fourth-quarter execution?

Welcome to another edition of Spurs Film Study, an ongoing series where we examine the game tape to highlight the nuances often missed during a surface-level viewing of the action. With an opening-night loss to the Dallas Mavericks in the rearview mirror, let’s revisit the defensive mistakes that cost San Antonio the contest.

Despite encouraging early signs from the Silver and Black, a second-half meltdown let their interstate adversaries run away with the lead in the fourth quarter. From miscues leaving them susceptible to screen the screener actions to a questionable use of Victor Wembanyama drop coverage, here are the blunders that left us concerned.

Thanks a ton for tuning in, Spurs fans! Let me know if you want to see more defensive breakdowns this season.
