Spurs become first NBA team in 50 years to play four consecutive overtime games

The phrase has become all too familiar to fans this season as the Spurs have made a habit out of needing more than 48 minutes to determine a winner.

For the Spurs appearance in Mexico City against the “home” Phoenix Suns, the 20,013 fans in the sold-out event were treated to a spectacular, history-making game as the Spurs became the first NBA team to play four consecutive overtime games in the last 50 years.

The Spurs have gone 3-1 in these overtime matches beating the Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, and now the Suns, losing only to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
