Game #48 found the ailing Spurs in a prime time matchup with Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavilers. Ironically, just days separated from the announcement that the Silver and Black would not be full healthy for the foreseeable future, the Cavs are finally at full strength with Isaiah Thomas recently returning to the lineup. Strangely enough, it looked like the Cavs were the ones down multiple starters in the nationally broadcast matchup.
The lackluster Caviler defense allowed the Spurs to carve them up offensively, as the good guys got to the rim at will.
