San Antonio Spurs Zach Collins fouls a driving Orlando Magic Franz Wagner in a preseason Game on Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022 at the AT&T Center.The Spurs were on a bit of a roll in the third quarter Thursday, and Keldon Johnson could no longer contain himself.

For large swaths of the game, the Spurs looked to be the better team than Orlando — despite the Magic outpacing them in lottery picks. As it stood, they played well for spurts, played hard throughout and added a building block of confidence heading into Sunday’s preseason contest against New Orleans.When camp opened a week and a half ago, Bates-Diop was a good guess as to which Spurs regular would be among the final roster cuts.
