It’s Star Wars night in San Antonio and the San Antonio Spurs will try to harness the force as they prepare to face the Brooklyn Nets tonight. The Spurs have been more Empire than Rebels over the past two decades, frequently finding themselves near the top of the Western Conference. Things are different now and the Spurs find themselves looking up and struggling to find ways to return to playoff contention.
San Antonio’s most recent game against the Rockets was a great summary of their performance this year as a whole. They had strong stretches of basketball, they took a 19 point lead into halftime.
