After a few close matches in which they got to show how plucky they can be both in victory and defeat, the Spurs found themselves on the wrong end of a blowout again. They simply were no match for the red-hot Nets, who dominated from start to finish en route to an easy 139-103 win, their 12th in a row.
It became clear that it was going to be a long night for the Spurs very early in the game, as the Nets’ stars were clearly dialed in and ready to exploit any mismatches San Antonio’s switching defense was surrendering.
