Wizards battle early, fall to Spurs, 132-119

The Wizards entered the AT&T Center Sunday in San Antonio looking to halt its longest-running losing streak in a road arena. What ultimately transpired ended up being all too familiar. Washington fought the hot-shooting Spurs with as many counter-punches as it could come up with, but San Antonio was ultimately too much again, winning 132-119. The Wizards will now have to wait another season to try to end a now-19-game losing streak in San Antonio.

Washington was especially shorthanded Sunday, with both Ian Mahinmi (right thumb sprain) and Sam Dekker (sore back) unable to go. That meant a short rotation against one of the deepest teams in the NBA, and the Spurs took advantage despite being on the second half of a road-home back-to-back themselves.
