MINNEAPOLIS — Devin Vassell got something off his chest after his big outing in the Spurs’ impressive win Monday over yet another team with aspirations for a deep playoff run.
In their 50 years, the Spurs have only had three better starts, going 4-0 in 2012, 2016 and 2017. It’s also only the fourth time in franchise history they’ve started a season 3-0 on the road after winning at Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Minneapolis following a season-opening loss at home against Charlotte.
