With the goal of expanding their fan base, the San Antonio Spurs arrived in Austin on Wednesday afternoon eager to play back-to-back games at the Moody Center.
“I’m extremely excited,” guard Tre Jones said. “You know, it’s a different city, but obviously Austin is close to home and we’re really to get going here. There’s a lot of energy around this and it’s a good little mix up to the end of the year for us, especially the season that we are having.”
“It’s always fun to switch it up,” forward Zach Collins told the media. “You know, being in the league, it’s gone by so fast. Being in the league for six years now, you get to the same arenas all the time. So, any time you can switch it up its fun. We’ve done that in Mexico city. We did that at the Alamodome this year, so we’ve been to a lot of places, and it’s been a lot of fun.”
