San Antonio played really well for three quarters against the Chicago Bulls on Monday, playing solid defense, forcing 15 turnovers and scoring 20 points off of them on the night. But in the fourth quarter, one of the Spurs’ biggest weaknesses proved to be their downfall: they are still struggling to find THE guy in crunch time.
Dejounte Murray is great and he can fill those shoes in spurts, but a lot of his points come in transition, ad when other teams start feeding their go-to guy and stop turning the ball over, they have time to set their defense and make it much more difficult for San Antonio to score.
