The Spurs weren’t that good this season before they traded away or released some of their more talented players in mid-season, but they’re playing hard and have been able to play competitively against recent opponents on the Rodeo Road Trip, extending the Pistons to double overtime before foul trouble ruined their shot at a win, and cutting a daunting double digit deficit to just 4 points in the final quarter against the Cavs on the way to a respectable eight point loss.
