Keys to the Game:
•Outsmart the Spurs
Let's face it, the Spurs play beautiful basketball, maybe the best team basketball in the league. The only way to beat them is to be one step ahead of them on everything. Play the passing lanes and cause turnovers.
•Don't Let Kawhi Takeover
Kawhi Leonard is a top 5 player in this league and an MVP candidate. He's been out most of the season so far due to a leg injury. The Spurs are still waiting for Kawhi to get back to his superstar ways and waiting for that one breakout game. Don't let this be that breakout game.
