Keldon Johnson, symbol of Spurs awakening

When Keldon Johnson go, everything goes to Spurs. That’s kind of how we could sum up San Antonio’s first quarter of the season. A fortnight in October at full speed with five wins in seven matches, then the big black hole: 15 defeats in 16 matches, including 11 in a row. Promoted leader of the Spurs after his contract extension, Keldon Johnson also sank with an average of 18 points on 36% on shots, including 31% from 3-pointers in November.

It’s not much better since December with 21 points on average on 39% on shots and an awful 15% on 3-pointers… And then there’s that visit from the Rockets last night, and he’s the perfect opponent for find its marks and confidence. The Olympic champion did not need an observation round. He will thus plant his first nine shots! A real question of rhythm as he took the necessary shots, without doing too much.

Even when he attacks the circle with two or three defenders in front of him, he reads the placement of players well to sneak in and apply on the finish.

“I found that he had less kept the ball in hand” Gregg Popovich shares. “He grabbed her, handled her, and he attacked the circle without hesitation, especially in the first half. He did it very well. »

The comebacks of Josh Richardson and Doug McDermott were good, and no doubt they took the pressure off the shoulders of Keldon Johnson, who finished with 32 points, two points off his personal best. But the interested party remembers above all that it is in defense that San Antonio built this first victory in twelve matches.

“It’s our first meeting in a long time where we were effective in defense” believes the winger. “We see that we made stops, that we projected ourselves forward, and that we were able to go to the end. We will be in great shape if we are able to keep this defensive mentality and let the attack happen on its own. »
