The San Antonio Spurs lost another nail-biter in their first game back from the Rodeo Road Trip as they fell short of completing a comeback against the Sacramento Kings. Although the good guys gave up some ground to a fellow Western Conference play-in tournament contender, they will have a chance to regain a bit of cushion in the standings on Saturday night.
The Silver and Black will now look to stop their three-game losing streak as they face a slumping Charlotte Hornets team missing All-Star forward Gordon Hayward. Despite entering this contest shorthanded, head coach James Borrego is familiar with San Antonio’s system as a two-time Gregg Popovich assistant.
