SAN ANTONIO: The Eastern Conference lead is gone.
And with the inconsistencies the defending champion Cavaliers are showing and just nine regular-season games remaining, there’s no guarantee they will get it back.
The San Antonio Spurs dominated the Cavs in every phase of the game Monday night in AT&T Center, running away with a 103-74 victory.
It was a virtual replay of Wednesday night’s trouncing at the hands of the Denver Nuggets at Pepsi Center, a 13-point loss in which coach Tyronn Lue drew his second technical foul of the season. The Cavs’ effort wasn’t much better at home Saturday in a 12-point loss to the Washington Wizards.
