The Spurs were visiting the cellar-dwelling Suns on Wednesday, the perfect opponent to face after a tough loss in Sacramento. Unfortunately, what had the potential to be an easy win turned into another unexpected defeat.
San Antonio was simply outplayed by one of the worst teams in the league en route to a decisive 116-96 loss. It was yet another winnable game that they dropped in what’s turning out to be a brutal November.
The Spurs’ horrendous start was a harbinger of things to come. The first quarter was a mess. LaMarcus Aldridge was missing bunnies while DeMar DeRozan was attacking the rim with no plan and hoping for a whistle.
