Wood had missed three consecutive games due to injury, but Wood was already ready to play. From the first quarter, Wood took the initiative to give Harden a pick-and-roll, lowering his position, and Wood's pick-and-roll effect was very good. , Several times for Harden and Gordon to create a very good breakthrough space, he is much more flexible than the previous Capela .

In addition, the Spurs bench has no firepower output. Point, just relying on Mills is definitely not enough,The Spurs did not make up their minds and used DeRozan and Ade to try to exchange for the first round of picks and rebuild.
