It’s been a rough season for the Spurs and the Rodeo Road Trip hasn’t provided much respite. San Antonio is on a 15-game losing streak heading into the last two games away from home for a while. Both of those matchups will be against the Jazz, on a mini-series in Utah that will pit two teams that had similar outlooks entering the year but have had different journeys so far.
After trading Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic, the Jazz seemed to be looking for a rebuild, just like the Spurs. Both teams started the year strong but San Antonio quickly faltered while Utah kept winning and remaining in the playoff picture.
