Veteran Antonio McDyess started for the Spurs for a second consecutive game, with second-year power forward DeJuan Blair again coming off the bench.
For Blair, it is a familiar role, since he came off the bench in 59 of the 82 games he played in his rookie season.
“I just bring energy off the bench now,” he said after scoring 14 points and grabbing six rebounds in 22:23. “That’s the only thing. Just come in here and be the same person. I’m just not starting no more.”
Blair didn’t need any words of encouragement from his veteran teammates to accept the change.
“I did it enough last year to know what it is,” he said. “Hopefully, I can be that spark that they need off the bench.”
