There’s been a lot of talk lately about the San Antonio Spurs finding new ways to lose basketball games. Against the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs found themselves down five with just over a minute to go. Coming out of a timeout Patty Mills turned the ball over before the Spurs could run their play. With 26 seconds to go, the Spurs found themselves still down five and coming out of another timeout when Rudy Gay was called for a five second inbound violation. On the following possession, the Spurs basically let Luka Doncic dribble out the clock rather than fouling to extend the game.
