San Antonio received a remarkable performance from Keldon Johnson, who returned to full strength after battling a stomach virus earlier in the week, as reported by Tom Orsborn of The San Antonio Express-News. Johnson, coming off the bench, scored 24 points in 34 minutes and delivered several crucial baskets.

“He’s a big energy guy,” Popovich remarked. “He knocks down some threes here and there, takes big shots. He might not be shooting 40% on the year, but he takes shots that are important because of time and score and that kind of thing. And he’s an aggressive young man. He puts some meat on people.”
