The San Antonio Spurs and Charlotte Hornets will meet for the second time in eight nights Friday with their growing pains still on full display.
The Spurs pulled off a 135-99 victory over the Hornets on Jan. 12, with San Antonio now on a three-game losing streak and Charlotte amid a six-game losing skid.
"We're going to lose some more games. We would all like to win rather than lose," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "If they are not competing at a certain level or executing at a certain level, we will be on them just as much as if we were winning.
