Fourteen losses. Fourteen consecutive losses.
The words ricocheted around in my head throughout most of the 2nd half as I watched the San Antonio Spurs surpass their most dubious record, dribble-by-dribble, shot-by-shot, brick-by-brick.
All-in-all, the Spurs took 107 shots last night. They made 41 of them.
Their field-goal percentage (38%) was only a few points higher than their three-point percentage on the night. Sometimes there just aren’t any words.
On the one hand, I’ve had the good fortune to see the Spurs set a great many positive team records in my time watching them. Win streaks, playoff records, moments paying tribute to the victorious consistency of a team and franchise.
