Spurs HC Mitch Johnson gives rookie his flowers for unreal effort in loss to Jazz

The San Antonio Spurs are still searching for their first preseason win, but rookie Tarris Reed Jr. is giving head coach Mitch Johnson plenty to like . San Antonio fell 119-109 to the Utah Jazz on Monday at the Delta Center, dropping to 0-3 in exhibition play. The Spurs sat nine players, including Victor Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper and Devin Vassell, which opened the door for their younger players to log heavy minutes. Reed made the most of his opportunity.
