On its own, the Spurs 125-105 loss the the Jazz is not all that worrisome. Utah has a good team that is solid at home. No Derrick White or Rudy Gay meant San Antonio was going to have to resort to unfamiliar lineups and would lack firepower. The result was predictable, if we are being honest, and the way the game played out was far from disastrous.
It’s the context in which the loss came that makes it feel weighty. The Spurs have now loss their last four, all on the road, and still have four more matchups away from the AT&T Center before finishing the Rodeo Road Trip.
