Ever since a couple of thrilling wins against the Raptors and Thunder at the beginning of January, the Spurs haven’t been themselves at home. They’ve had losses to the inferior Hornets and depleted Clippers, as well as close wins against the kinda-tanking Wizards and cellar-dwelling Suns, both of whom were also missing key players.
Meanwhile, in a reverse from the first half of the season, they’ve gone 3-1 in their last four road games while showing much more focus and respect for the opponent away from the comfy confines of the AT&T Center.
