Popovich Reveals 'Best Part' About Win vs. Pacers

The San Antonio Spurs are celebrating after a 117-105 win against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night at the Frost Bank Center.

The win marks the Spurs' second victory in as many games since returning from their "Rodeo Road Trip," that saw them go 1-8 over a nine-game stretch.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs trailed the Pacers by two points, but a 10-0 run pushed them ahead for good. Despite their struggles early, San Antonio was able to seize control of the game and when that was jeopardized, they held their own.

"Both teams missed a lot of shots in the first quarter. Nobody could really put it in the hole really. The best part of the game was being in the fourth quarter and standing up to their run. We kept our composure and continued to execute and that was the best part of the game," Gregg Popovich said postgame.

The theme of keeping composure continued from the win against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night. Sunday's victory proves that the team can win consistently and that Thursday wasn't exactly a fluke.

Now, the next test is being able to do this while playing away from their home fans at the Frost Bank Center.

They will have an opportunity to prove that they can match this composure on the road when they visit the rival Rockets tomorrow at Toyota Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.
