In a game that was eerily reminiscent of their previous matchup against the Suns, the Spurs were in control for the first three quarters only to struggle late and fail to complete the upset. The pain of this 115-110 loss is mitigated by the fact that San Antonio was missing Derrick White, Dejounte Murray and Jakob Poeltl, but it was still tough to see all the hard work done earlier go to waste in the final minutes, like it has many times this season.
While the struggles in the clutch are concerning, it should be noted that the Spurs came ready to fight from the start.
