The Spurs got out to a hot start and capitalized on it with back to back wins in Phoenix, but since then, they have now lost six straight, bringing their record to 3-8 on the season. From the eye test, it seems that when they perform well in the 2nd and 4th quarters, those surges are enough to keep them in close games. Meanwhile, sluggish third quarters have been the primary reason they have been blown out by teams, especially in their giant 152-112 loss to the Pacers and 123-87 loss to the Thunder earlier this week. Nevertheless, I set to dive into this quarter-by-quarter production and split the data into wins and losses to see which quarter of play is the X factor in these games.
