At the quarter pole the Spurs looked lost. They didn’t have a set rotation and their defense was such a disaster than not even a solid offense could keep them afloat most games. Their inconsistency was a huge issue that threatened to derail their season.
How quickly can things change. The Spurs’ turnaround is one of the most shocking events in a league that isn’t exactly lacking for drama. They have won 13 of their last 16 to climb the West standings and they now hold the eighth best net rating in the league.
