“We knew from the beginning that it was going to be a physical game. So, we focused on that and tried to prevent them from getting offensive rebounds. I think we started the game well and that’s where ​​our partials came. They are a good team. They will also make their partials. So, we tried not to get discouraged when it happened, we always reacted,” the thought of Stephon Castle, another Spurs star. San Antonio is now one win away from the conference finals and from a super challenge with OKC.
