Spurs doubling JJJ when the Grizz feed him in the post with Keldon Johnson on him. JJJ scored anyways the first time, turned it over the second time.
His ability to dish out of the double team will be something to watch tonight – 8:15 PM

Dejounte Murray starts the game with a steal and then a block on Ja Morant.

Pop on Kyle Anderson: “He’s not super talented…yet he’s a hell of a player, a guy that anybody would love to have on their team.He’s a special teammate, he plays smarter than most everybody else on the court, and those are great attributes. He is a special kid.” – 7:18 PM
