Gregg Popovich’s locker room speech jolts Spurs in Game 4 win vs Thunder

The San Antonio Spurs bounced back from their Game 3 loss, to tie the NBA Western Conference Finals at 2-2 Sunday night – and “Pop” had a hand in it.

After the Spurs dominated the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-82 on May 24, Spurs guards De’Aaron Fox said that former coach Gregg Popovich came into the locker room following San Antonio’s 123-108 Game 3 loss on Friday, May 22 with some “choice words.”

“Pop’s been around, like throughout the course of the season, but that was the first time he walked into the locker room, and it was like, ‘Nah, that’s B.S. That’s not how we play basketball.'” Fox said during an interview NBC’s postgame show. “Obviously, he had some choice words for us. That was the first time all season that he came into the locker room right after a game and told us how he felt. And everybody felt that.”
