SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (7-32) will visit the Boston Celtics (31-9) tonight. The Spurs are 0-1 versus the Celtics this season.

GAME REWIND

The Spurs are coming off a road loss versus the Hawks, 109-99.

The Spurs made a furious comeback, outscoring the Hawks 65-40 in the second half after being down as much as 30 points. The Hawks held San Antonio to 99 points on 38-95 shooting.

Victor Wembanyama finished with 26 points and 12 rebounds. Jeremy Sochan had 23 points and eight rebounds. Keldon Johnson added five points and six rebounds off the bench. Devin Vassell recorded four points in the loss while Tre Jones added six points and 12 assists.

"We probably had the worst first half so far and he (Popovich) wanted to change the lineup in the second half," said Wembanyama. "We wanted to put players he can trust to give 100% on the court. I appreciate also that he put Jeremy (Sochan) in the starting lineup."
