Popovich Responds to Gesture by Suns Owner

Phoenix owner Robert Sarver grabbing the mic late in Thursday’s exhibition blowout to apologize for the lackluster game and offer credit to ticketed attendees after the Hall of Fame coach and five Spurs players missed the game. But (Spurs Coach Gregg) Popovich also had plenty to say.

“As I said, the silliness begins,” he said. “Most wise individuals would check facts before they made statements. Unless you’re interested in putting on a show. In that case, the facts get in your way, as in this case.

“The only thing that surprises me is that he didn’t say it in a chicken suit. I’ll just leave it at that.”
