There were very few positives to take away from the Spurs blowout loss to the Celtics. Although Boston is the hottest team in the league, there was little excuse for the Spurs’ listless performance (perhaps beyond the awkward 4:00 PM starting time on a Saturday).
One positive was Patty Mills, who has been on a tear that continued against Boston with 20 points on 7-12 shooting (3-6 from three) and has him sitting near the top of the league in three-point shooting.
The other bright spot was Trey Lyles, who after a slow start to the season is beginning to take and make three-pointers for the Spurs.
