The Spurs took their ninth straight game from the Phoenix Suns by out-executing the visitors in the second half, and getting into a bit of garbage time by the end of the fourth to win 119-98. But it wasn’t a laugher throughout, in fact, the first two quarters were fairly dismal.
Both clubs started the night out with a serious case of butterfingers. Phoenix turned the ball over 8 times in the first quarter and the Spurs had such a hard time getting themselves together without Kawhi Leonard, who was out with tummy yuckies.
After 12 minutes, the Spurs were up 30-27, and it’s not every 30 point quarter that feels like points were left out on the court, but San Antonio should have been up by double digits with how the Suns were giving up the ball.
