The Spurs let Wemby roam off Caruso and I think it cost them the game.
Caruso is only shooting 29% from three this year, so I get the logic. But when you give any guy that much daylight, wide open looks with no pressure? He's going to make you pay. And he did. 8 for 14.
The game went to double overtime. Every single possession matters at that point. You can't be gifting uncontested threes to anyone.
The zone-and-hover concept Coach Nick broke down was actually the smarter wrinkle. Let Wemby pick up corner threats and float back into his area rather than being tied to Caruso and getting him into action off the ball. That part I liked. The straight man-to-man assignment on Caruso? That's the adjustment San Antonio needs to make. #shorts
