Thank you to everyone who tuned in live for the latest edition of Corporate Knowledge: After Dark, this time after a 135-132 Spurs win in New Orleans. Just days after losing the third quarter 44-19 in Cleveland on its way to a seventh loss, San Antonio was once again dragged 45-23 in the 12 minutes after halftime. I wish I had an exact answer for what’s going on, but I do not, dear reader/listener. It’s not as if there’s one recurring issue, or one player in particular performing poorly on the regular. The ailments are myriad, and I will be diving into them more. But in a crowded Western Conference, you do not apologize for any win, no matter how ugly. And against the Pelicans, you saw a teenager take the game into his own hands for the eventual game-sealing bucket, which gives everyone a good enough reason to celebrate. Show topics included: You guessed it: What the hell is happening in these third quarters? Harrison Barnes kept San Antonio afloat as everything slipped away; his baskets kept them in a game that could’ve gotten away even further. Dylan Harper, a 19-year-old, ultimately saves the day. What to make of the trio of Harper, De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle in their first game together this season.
