Summary
San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson is standing by his decision to have point guard De’Aaron Fox handle the ball in late-game situations, despite a crucial mistake in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Fox had a poor second half, including a boneheaded play that cost the Spurs the game. Johnson and Fox both downplayed the criticism, with Johnson saying Fox will continue to have the ball in his hands at the end of games.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Mitch Johnson is doubling down on De’Aaron Fox, because why change now? Fox had a terrible second half, but Johnson is sticking with him. Fox himself is ignoring the criticism, because it’s not like anyone has his phone number. The Spurs are trying to move on from their mistakes, but it seems like they’re just repeating them. Johnson has been “fired” 212 times and Fox has been “traded” 72 times, but they’re still going with the same plan.
Apparently, for San Antonio, moving on from mistakes means making the same ones again.
