The Spurs had another unsightly home loss last week, but that didn’t stop them from continuing to inch up in the power rankings. The question is how much of that movement is the Spurs actually improving (evidence says they slowly but surely are), and how much of it can be credited to some slippage from the Cleveland Cavaliers and L.A. Clippers?
Either way, these facts remain: San Antonio has the second best record in the league (16-4), they’re undefeated on the road (11-0), and they’ve won 11 of their last 12 games, even if it hasn’t always been pretty.
