The Spurs are making a habit of turning things around during homestands, both in the wins column and how they tactically approach games. In early December, their season took a 180 in the right direction when some fundamental defensive adjustments over a six-game stint in San Antonio catalyzed the team’s strongest month of the season, in which it posted the league’s best net rating and a top-10 defense.
A lot has happened since then, with injuries, road woes and a defensive slide all casting light on more holes Gregg Popovich has needed to plug.
