Oh how I miss the good ol’ days of two weeks ago when the San Antonio Spurs were last in the NBA in defense but had a record of 6-2. Since then, the Spurs defense has been arguably better - though I’m not buying what some of the statistics are selling - but the offense has somehow made me long for last year’s offense. As a result, the Spurs have lost five of their last six games and do not seem to have any semblance of an identity.
The Spurs at least showed effort and fight in this one, but Lou Williams was too much to handle down the stretch, and the Spurs attempt at late-game heroics fell just short of the goal.
