Friday night’s game had a lot of significance to the Western Conference standings, but it seemed to say more about where the Spurs are in this moment. Just as Utah came in 22-3 in their last 25 (and yet somehow still in the 8th seed), San Antonio’s previous 5 wins have almost washed away the 3 straight losses from the last road trip. Closing the 6th game at the AT&T Center before heading north was a must.
First, the Spurs swept the home stand going 6-0 over the last two weeks.
Second, they won their first overtime game of the season, refusing to be swept by the Utah Jazz for the season series.
