Let’s get the negative out of the way first: the Spurs lost yet another game that was centered around a fourth quarter collapse (this time to the Golden State Warriors), and there was really no excuse in this one since their top six players were all out. The offense went cold, the defense forgot how to switch, the Warriors won all 50-50 balls, and for the second game in a row the refs missed a blatant travel on a crucial late bucket by the opponent. On top of all that, both Jakob Poeltl — who has been the Spurs second best and possibly most important player of late — and Jock Landale were out in the second half after taking knocks to the head.
The Spurs offense was great against the Warriors — for three quarters
