He is averaging 8.3 points off the bench while shooting 40.6 percent from the 3-point arc.
The good news for the Spurs: Even if they fail to win another game, Los Angeles would have to win three of its last four, an unlikely prospect considering it has lost seven of its last eight, including six in a row, and has a closing schedule that includes Denver, Phoenix and Golden State.“It’s basketball,” Richardson said. “And in the NBA any team can lose on any day.”
It didn’t help that their starting five of Tre Jones, rookie Josh Primo, Devin Vassell, Johnson and Collins had played together for all of one minute this season before Sunday, a fact reflected in the Spurs going down 15-2 to start the game after committing three turnovers. Collins matched his career high with 18 points and had a career-best 13 rebounds in 31 minutes, his most since Oct. 25, 2019. Bates-Diop scored six of his 12 points in the third period, including consecutives buckets on a layup and a cutting dunk off a feed from Richardson to give the Spurs a 78-70 lead late in the quarter.
