The shorthanded San Antonio Spurs lost their fifth consecutive contest as they fell to the surging Cleveland Cavaliers in a back-and-forth battle that went down to the wire. The good guys have struggled in crunch time over the first half of their schedule, and another close game didn’t do much to save their legs for their third SEGABABA of the new year.
Next up for the Silver and Black are the Los Angeles Clippers, a slumping franchise that enters this matchup down their superstar tandem of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Head coach Tyronne Lue has made the most of a quickly deteriorating situation, but San Antonio should have every shot at snapping their cold spell versus another understaffed squad.
