With Jeremy Sochan and Devin Vassell providing the juice, the shorthanded Spurs gain revenge on the Suns
Jeremy Sochan was 0 for 6 from 3-point range late in the fourth quarter Monday, his sideways-spinning jumper having found nothing but iron throughout the night. So it must have looked odd to the visiting Phoenix Suns when, with the game on the line, the Spurs forward slid to an open spot along the arc. And called for the ball. “I felt like the last couple of games the ball hasn’t been going in for me from the 3-point line,” Sochan said. 'But no matter what, I believe in myself.
Spurs' Graham revels in March Madness memories After the game, he was beside himself that his team apparently did not listen. “We definitely laid an egg,” Beal said. “We came in, thought it was going to be easy, no Wemby. We just got our ass kicked.” Devin Booker scored 36 points to lead the Suns, while Kevin Durant added 29. Against the 16-56 Spurs that somehow wasn’t enough. “A lot of people played well tonight, and that’s what it takes,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

He and Booker both missed go-ahead 3-point looks in the closing seconds, with Booker’s coming as time expired. It’s the same as every game. Defend the best players, get into them a little bit, just make it difficult for somebody like that, players that are going to end up being legendary, so it’s just making it as difficult as you can.
