In a game which saw Wemby and CP3 step onto the court for the first time together, it was Castle who led the team in points and hustled on both ends of the floor. We saw a couple flashes last game vs OKC (including a nasty poster) but overall didn’t contribute too much statistically. This game saw what a lot of people were expecting from him: great finishing, pesky defense and hustle, a couple threes knocked down, and overall composure and pace that’s sorely needed for a young Spurs squad still trying to learn how to play together.
Honestly could see the Warriors or Clippers go below them too, depending on injuries. Last year the West was exceptionally healthy, but nothing guarantees this year will be the same.
