Rookie Keldon Johnson had 21 points off the bench on 87 percent shooting, three rebounds, and three assists. The former Kentucky Wildcat played 25 minutes and was aggressive on both ends of the floor, a welcome sight for Spurs fans.

Rudy Gay led the team with 23 points, his best performance in the scrimmage games. He also had four rebounds, five assists, and a steal. DeRozan rebounded after struggling the first two scrimmages with 17 points on 8-of-13 shooting.

The Spurs kept the turnovers to a minimum with 12 for the game, a much better effort on taking care of the ball. As a result, they led by as many as 14 points.

Indiana was led by Myles Turner’s 17 points and T.J. McConnell added 14 off the bench.
