I don’t think anyone can feel bad about this loss. It’s one of those where you look at the totality of the Spurs current situation and just sort of shrug your shoulders. Yeah. This was probably going to be a loss. It wasn’t embarrassing or anything. Nobody blew it or had the worst game of their lives. It just happened. They went down to Mexico City, played 48 minutes of basketball, and didn’t quite have enough to finish the job.
In soccer there’s a fancy stat that the analytics nerds like to throw around called “expected goals” which is basically a way to determine the probability of any given shot going in.
