It’s not often an NBA team playing at full strength is outclassed the way the Spurs were in their Saturday evening loss to the visiting Clippers. Lacking the firepower to go toe to toe with the tandem of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Spurs needed to play with focus, discipline and more than a little luck to stay competitive, but managed to find none of the three.
The final score, a still pretty depressing 134-109, fails to capture just how hopeless the game felt once the Clips began to exert their will.
