The Spurs have now dropped three in a row and are eighth in the Western Conference, ahead of the Grizzlies by a single game. Meanwhile, the Clippers have regained their footing; after losing five of seven, they’ve rebounded by winning three straight. San Antonio has one of the hardest remaining schedules in the league, so they’ll need to right the ship tonight in order to keep up in the playoff race.
With Kawhi Leonard scoring at will yesterday, there’s no doubt that the Spurs will be extra motivated to shut down their former franchise player in this game.
