25. It’s a simple two-digit number. It appears on each month of the Gregorian Calendar, it represents the cent amount of the highest common U.S. coin denomination and it’s the age in which you can legally rent any car of your choosing.
However, the number 25 was not a friendly one at all to a beleaguered Atlanta unit in Saturday evening’s tilt opposite San Antonio. That’s because Atlanta’s “25” represented a futile season-low in first-half points scored by any team in the NBA this season.
After managing just 13 first-quarter points, Atlanta undoubtedly had their wings clipped early on against the soaring Spurs.
