After two-straight wins that seemed to indicate that the Spurs might be breaking out of an extended offensive slump, it was back to the bad times for the Silver and Black tonight. As was the case with many of their losses this season, the Spurs came out extremely slow and out of sorts, and the Philadelphia 76ers took advantage in a game that was over midway through the first quarter.
The Spurs missed 17 of their first 23 shots on the way to a season low 31 points in the first half for a 20-point deficit.
