Spurs' Harper Shines in Road Trip Win

0:00From NBA coverage, this is your March 5th update. The San Antonio Spurs wrapped up their month-long road trip with a huge 40-point win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Rookie Dylan Harper led the way, dropping 22 points in just 22 minutes on great efficiency. It was his best game of the trip, helping the team go strong against three straight eastern conference foes on the east coast. Harbor has settled into his role off the bench in a crowded back court with Stefan Kassel into Aaron Fox. Over 50 games this season, he's averaging 11.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while shooting. 48% from the field. That puts him second among rookies in net rating. Coaches and teammates can't say enough about his maturity. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson praised Harper for buying into team details and winning over personal stats, something tough for a young player. Victor Wimba Nyama went further, saying he'd redrapped Harper today and loves sharing the court with him long-term.

1:00The win marked the Spurs 12th victory in their last 13 games, boosting confidence as they head into March and April. Harper fought through a shooting slump earlier this season by leaning on veterans like Harrison Barnes and Fox, learning to check his ego and prioritize the team. Now back home, the Spurs face a tough stretch to stay and play off contention. Spurs excited about the momentum, but knows there's work ahead, especially with calls for a new arena to ease road trip fatigue. The team stays grounded, focused on daily improvement.
