The Spurs will not see the rest of the NBA Cup, even if Mitch Johnson’s men still had hope before facing the Suns this Tuesday evening. Kevin Durant’s teammates finally got the better of this game, helped by a questionable three-point performance from San Antonio. Difficult to win with an 8/44 at long range.
Devin Vassell, who is 4/5 at three points, was very alone against Phoenix.
