The Spurs lost another heartbreaker at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. Despite holding superstar point-forward Luka Doncic to just 40% shooting, spot starter Jalen Brunson brought home the dub for San Antonio’s longtime interstate rival with a big performance in crunch time.
Now sitting at 2-6, with the worst start in franchise history since 1996-97, the Silver and Black are back on the road to take on the Orlando Magic for the final time this season.
Considering that the first meeting between these two teams ended in a lopsided victory for San Antonio, you probably wouldn’t have guessed they would sport nearly identical records two weeks later.
