The San Antonio Spurs' youth and inexperience reared its head again on Monday night in a 111-106 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Victor Wembanyama committed five turnovers himself while veteran pointguard Chris Paul committed and uncharacteristic four turnovers to make up a large chunk of the team's grand total of 18.

Additionally, Harrison Barnes didn't find the scoring column all night long despite playing a total of 20 minutes in the contest. All in all, it was a recipe for disaster in the City of Brotherly Love last night.

Now, onto the headlines.
