How the Spurs Overcame a Key Absence to Stun the Trail Blazers in Game 3

Carter Bryant didn’t score, but he made his presence felt. He went 1-for-5 and finished with 3 points. He also had 4 blocks, 6 rebounds and closed the game plus-17. Bryant’s scrappiness on the glass led to four offensive rebounds and his defense was the deterrent the Spurs needed without Wembanyama. Mitch Johnson’s decision to trust both of them in the second half of a playoff road game speaks volumes to their development and impact.

Second-year guard Stephon Castle was the engine underneath all of it, pacing the Spurs with 33 points (10-18 FG, 3-4 3PM, 10-11 FT) and 5 assists. Castle led the Spurs with 11 in the fourth and was locked in offensively all night.
