For all the talk about the playstyle of this spurs team, from the very beginning their xG numbers are really relatively quite low even when they were top of the table. At both ends. So I don’t think its simply a case of playing too open and refusing to compromise.

Offensively, they’re relying heavily on Son to make up the difference through his finishing. Defensively they’re relying on Vicario to keep the shots out. But they don’t create that many chances and they allow a decent amount of chances themselves.

This is just a regression to the mean and I’d argue they probably aren’t done regressing
