Most of the San Antonio Spurs’ stats from October were pretty positive after they jumped out to a 5-2 start in the first month of the season.
DeMar DeRozan was putting up MVP-caliber numbers and LaMarcus Aldridge was dominating the boards, but we did see some flaws in the Spurs’ defensive statistics that have come to roost over the past month.
San Antonio went 5-10 in November, they have fallen out of the Western Conference playoff picture, and they’re in danger of losing more ground if they don’t pick it up soon.
These three stats explain some of the Spurs’ struggles, but they also give us some hope that they can turn it around as we progress through the regular season.
