Game 23, @Chicago: Bulls 95, Spurs 91 Rec: 18-5
1st in Southwest Division, 2nd in West Streak: L-1
This isn’t the most maddening or frustrating Spurs team of the Popovich Era, not by a long shot. I think the 2009-10 and 2014-15 editions are both clearly ahead of this squad on that score, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t the most perplexing bunch I’ve ever seen, capable of wretched lows and soaring highs minutes removed from one another.
They’re 18-5 off Thursday night’s wire-to-wire loss at Chicago, snapping their franchise-record 13-0 start on the road, which was second-best in NBA history.
