San Antonio Spurs annihilate Philadelphia 76ers with jaw-dropping 41-point Summer League blowout
The San Antonio Spurs left no doubt about their dominance on the Summer League stage, dismantling the Philadelphia 76ers in a 111-70 rout that showed a total team effort. From the opening tip to the final buzzer, the Spurs executed with precision, attacking from all areas of the floor and making the Sixers pay for every defensive misstep.
San Antonio's shooting, depth, and defensive presence overwhelmed a 76ers squad that struggled to find any rhythm or identity throughout the night.

The San Antonio Spurs' offense was nothing short of electric. They shot an impressive 56.5% from the field, going 39-for-69, and buried the 76ers from deep, connecting on 19-of-37 three-point attempts for a scorching 51.4% clip. At the free-throw line, they stayed solid, hitting 14-of-20 for 70%.
The man leading the charge was David Jones Garcia, who delivered a monster outing with 24 points on 75% shooting, including a blistering 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. In just 18 minutes, he also tallied 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals, putting together one of the best all-around stat lines of the Summer League so far.
Riley Minix added to the offensive fireworks with 14 points while shooting 50% from the floor. Dexter Dennis was flawless from long range, going 4-of-4 from three to also contribute 14 points.

The Spurs' bench added strong support, Kyle Mangas dropped 11 points, and Ozayi Orifo had 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. Jameer Nelson Jr. didn't score in bunches, but he was perfect at the free-throw line, going 5-for-5 to help maintain momentum.
The defense matched the energy on the offensive end. San Antonio grabbed 52 total rebounds, including 10 offensive boards, and shared the ball exceptionally well with 26 assists.
They added 8 steals and 5 blocks, keeping Philadelphia off-balance the entire game. Despite a few flaws—16 turnovers and 25 team fouls—the Spurs' execution and pace controlled every aspect of the matchup.
Philadelphia, on the other hand, struggled from the opening quarter. The Sixers managed just 37.3% shooting from the field and made only 7 of their 22 three-point attempts (31.8%). Keve Aluma's 12 points and Mark Armstrong's 10 off the bench were among the few bright spots. Judah Mintz added 9 points, but needed 11 shots to get there. Philadelphia also committed 14 turnovers and missed 8 free throws, further sealing their fate.

IND vs ENG: Former England captain lashes out at Ben Stokes' Bazballers- 'It's a members' club'
England's captain Ben Stokes gestures during the fifth day of the third cricket test match between England and India at Lord's cricket ground in London, Monday, July 14, 2025. (AP Photo/Richard Pelham) Former England captain Geoffrey Boycott has slammed Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum for their rigid approach in continuing with Zak Crawley , despite the opener's struggles. Boycott said he is amazed by the fact that the England cricket management is not looking for another opener. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "People ask me: 'Haven't we got another opener in county cricket?' I say: 'I don't think the hierarchy are looking.' It's a members' club and if you are in it… you can't get out," Boycott wrote in his column for The Telegraph. "Zak Crawley is a lucky lad because there is an old saying in cricket: 'Never change a winning team.' "I don't believe that, but some do, and because they won, England will be tempted to pick the same players. I believe in another saying: 'When you are winning, that is when you should try to improve your team.'" 'Pretty cooked': Ben Stokes after leading England to Epic Lord's triumph The 27-year-old has already played 57 Tests for England and is averaging 30.89. "How many more chances is Crawley going to get? He has learned nothing in his 57 Tests," he said. "A waft in the first innings, caught behind, and a front-foot drive in the second innings to a wide sucker ball, caught at gully. Poll Should England consider replacing Zak Crawley as opener? Yes, he needs to be replaced No, he deserves more chances Only if there are better options available Unsure about his performance "It was just a replay of too many of his dismissals. Time to go. Five hundreds and an average of 31 is not good enough." Boycott said the Australian troika of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood will be waiting for Crawley to play in the Ashes, and it is not a good sign for the England team. "Most opposition bowlers can't wait to get their sweaters off to bowl at him. Can you imagine what the Australian seamers are thinking about this winter's Ashes series? "If Starc doesn't get you, Hazlewood and Cummins will." Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
