The Spurs win their second in a row, snap an eight-game road skid and will try to tie...
Shaking off some early rust after missing Thursday’s win over Houston with a sore left knee, Vassell hit a pair of 20-foot step-back jumpers in a 39-second span with under two minutes left to lift the Spurs to a 115-111 win over the Heat on Saturday.
“Shoot, we’ve had a lot of people out, a lot of injuries,” Vassell said. “But that just shows the resilience of this team, and we are ready to get another one.” “I felt good warming up and knew I was going to play,” Vassell said. “They told me I wasn’t going to start and would be on a minutes restriction, but as long as I was playing, that’s all I cared about.”
Trailing by 113-111 after Vassell sank his second clutch-shot with 1:13 left, the Heat had a chance to tie it, but Bam Adebayo missed a mid-range jumper that the Spurs’ Tre Jones rebounded with 22.2 seconds left. The duo did a capable job, limiting Adebayo to 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting after he entered the game averaging 21.2.
Logging 29 minutes against the Heat, he hit 7 of 10 from the field, 1 of 2 from 3-point territory and 4 of 4 from the foul line. He also had six rebounds, one steal and one block.
