Matchup Breakdown
Spurs outlook: You win this with size and tempo control. Wembanyama’s rim protection tilts shot quality, and San Antonio’s glass work fuels efficient half-court looks. Keep Vassell and the guards spaced to punish help and keep the turnover rate down.
Suns outlook: Phoenix needs pace and threes. They’re top tier in attempts and makes from deep, and Booker’s pull-up gravity opens corner volume. Winning the non-Wemby minutes is key. If Phoenix can draw early fouls on San Antonio’s bigs, their drive-and-kick game plays up.
Key battle: Spurs’ interior length vs Suns’ perimeter burst. If San Antonio owns second-chance points and keeps Phoenix below 38 percent from three, the road cover is live.
