De'Aaron Fox reveals Gregg Popovich gave the Spurs a reality check after Game 3 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.Gregg Popovich was the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs for 29 long seasons. During that tenure, he led them to five championships, firmly establishing himself as one of the greatest coaches in NBA history.Since he had to retire, Pop has still been present in the Spurs organization as the team president. He still has a booming voice in the locker room, which was apparent after an embarrassing Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.De'Aaron Fox reveals how Gregg Popovich motivated the Spurs after Game 3It was clear when the Spurs started off hot in Game 4 that they were ready to beat the Thunder. They were already dominant at the start of Game 3, but they let their lead go, and then they eventually got blown out by 15 points.That was an unacceptable result, which was echoed by Popovich after Game 3. Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox revealed that the Spurs icon was present in the locker room, where he unloaded on his team.MORE:Devin Vassell reveals how the Spurs have matched the Thunder's physicality in the WCFThis was the reality check that the Spurs needed because having Popovich speak to them opened their eyes. That was clear because the Spurs were otherworldly during Game 4 of the WCF."We lost Game 3, and Pop's been around all season. That was the first time he walked into the locker room and was like 'Nah, that's BS. That's not how we play basketball.' He had some choice words for us," Fox revealed to Tracy McGrady on the NBC post-game show."That was the first time all season that he came into the locker room right after a game and told us how he felt."It was a much-needed boost that worked out for the Spurs. Popovich might not be coaching anymore with Mitch Johnson in charge, but he is still with the organization. as long as he is there, his fingerprints and impact will always be quite apparent.More NBA news:The OKC Thunder's approach in Game 4 was not the optimal one to get a big winVictor Wembanyama's buzzer-beater from half-court dazzles the NBAHow some nuns became the biggest Spurs fans in the Western Conference FinalsA pointed news report casts doubt on the Spurs' future with De'Aaron FoxWhy some peoplewere shocked about Stephon Castle earning All-NBA votes

Victor Wembanyama helped carry the Spurs to a Game 4 win, evening the series with OKC after a 33-point performance Sunday night.

If Tottenham had not been in the relegation fight, a much brighter spotlight would have shone on West Hams demise this Premier League season.

Ahead of the Coca-Cola 600, NASCAR honored Kyle Busch, who suddenly passed away on Thursday after suffering with 'severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis.'

San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama wanted the ball for the final couple seconds of the first half. He got it, 65 feet from the basket.He had three Oklahoma City defenders in front of him. He took three dribbles. He got three points.And he made it look easy, too.A swished 3-pointer from the midcourt stripe to close the first half brought maybe the loudest roars of his night, but it was hardly the only moment in which Wembanyama was unstoppable in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals on Sunday.He got most of the fourth quarter off and still finished with 33 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots as the Spurs beat the Thunder 103-82 to tie the West title series at two games apiece.The truth is that we had never been in this kind of situation before, Wembanyama said. It was our first deficit in a playoff series and we just responded. It was nothing amazing. It wasn't magic. We just did what we needed to do.In other words, he wasn't surprised. A 62-win team in the regular season and a team that has now beaten Oklahoma City six times in nine opportunities this season shouldn't be surprised by anything anymore.Game 5 is Tuesday in Oklahoma City.It was Wembanyama who pointed the finger of blame at himself following San Antonio's loss in Game 3, saying that the Spurs were going to see what we're made of in Game 4 and that he had to do more to get teammates involved.He delivered on every level.I saw a lot and I'm not surprised," Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. I think our competitive response all year has been pretty good and he's been at the forefront of that more often than not. I think tonight, not speaking for him, he felt an obligation to set a tone for us in a variety of ways.Wembanyama had 11 points in the first quarter, 11 more on 10 shot attempts in the second quarter and capped all that with the beat-the-clock 3-pointer going into halftime.And on the other end, he might have been even better.The unanimous Defensive Player of the Year who was announced on Sunday night as a first-team All-NBA selection for the first time led an effort that held Oklahoma City to a season-low in points and a season-high-tying 20 turnovers.The Thunder had at least 108 points in every game in these playoffs entering Sunday. We've played 12 playoff games. When you play 12 playoff games, they're not all going to be masterpieces, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. As much as you want to win, there's nights where you just don't have it for whatever reason.On Sunday, that reason might have been Wembanyama. The Thunder were outscored by 29 points when he was on the floor. They shot 18 of 41 inside the paint, with Wembanyama a big reason for that, so more things got forced outside where they shot 12 of 50.He was asked how the Spurs bottled up the Thunder so well.I'm not going to get into details, but in general, being more disciplined and just trusting the game plan even more, Wembanyama said.There's a flight for the Spurs to Oklahoma City on Monday for a game on Tuesday, and the winner of that contest will be one game away from the NBA Finals. It's clear that Wembanyama knows that even after a big win, the job only gets tougher now.The series is far from over, Wembanyama said. We've got six more wins before we can rest.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/nba
