Joe Wieskamp led Austin Spurs to win with clutch 3-point shot

San Antonio Spurs rookie Joe Wieskamp led the Austin Spurs to a double-overtime victory over the Greensboro Swarm behind timely scoring and clutch shooting.

Wieskamp finished with 22 points, six rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot during the 108-105 win. He went 8-of-10 from the field and a career-high 6-of-7 from 3-point range, including a game-tying shot to send the game to overtime.

With 6.7 seconds left in regulation, and the Spurs down by three points, Wieskamp flew around a screen to catch the inbound pass. He pulled up from 27 feet and drilled the 3-pointer to force overtime. The shot capped off another strong outing on assignment with Austin.

His 22 points scored on Thursday tied a season-high as he has scored at least 20 points in three of his six games with Austin. Wieskamp, who is signed to a two-way contract, is now averaging 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and one assist on 45% shooting from 3-point range.

The latest effort by Wieskamp certainly shows his potential as a player that can space the floor. He left college known as a shooter and he has shown that ability to start the season with Austin.
