The San Antonio Spurs can breathe a temporary sigh of relief after ending their eleven-game losing streak with a relatively comfortable dub over the Houston Rockets on Thursday night. Although the youngsters defeated an equally inexperienced team at the AT&T Center, upsetting the Miami Heat on the road will be a much steeper challenge.
Despite playing most of this season shorthanded, the Silver and Black are steadily recovering rotation pieces from the injury report. Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, and Tre Jones must show up for San Antonio to have a shot at emerging victorious, so watch out for how they stack up versus the big three of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Tyler Herro.
