Following a three-day break, the San Antonio Spurs hosted the red-hot Phoenix Suns on Monday night. Phoenix who were on the second leg on a back-to-back, led by double digits for most of the game before the good guys mounted a thrilling comeback in the final minutes, but it was too little too late as San Antonio lost 115-111 and is now on a five-game losing streak.
The two teams traded mid-range jumpers to begin the contest, which wasn't a surprise given the personnel on both sides. Quick possessions were exchanged back and forth, but neither club capitalized on their opportunities, and the players all seemed to be gassed faster than usual.
