It seems that it doesn’t matter if the Spurs play in the USA, Mexico or on the moon, their fourth-quarter woes follow them wherever they go. This time in Mexico City for their showcase game against the Miami Heat, the San Antonio Spurs went into the final frame up 4 after controlling the majority of the contest, but momentum switched quickly and before they knew it they were down 10 and emptying their bench on their way to a 111-101 loss.

The Spurs did get Jakob Poeltl back from injury in this one. After missing 7 games with a bone bruise in his knee the Austrian big man made his return to the lineup, albeit on a 20-minute time restriction.
