What does the Spurs’ worst team in 23 years look like? Desirable.
Arriving at Madison Square Garden with the longest losing streak of Gregg Popovich’s Hall of Fame career, San Antonio found predictable relief against the NBA’s worst team of the past two decades, snapping their eight-game losing streak with Saturday night’s 111-104 win over the Knicks.
Before suffering the second loss of the young season to the Spurs, Knicks coach Fizdale labeled San Antonio’s record (6-10) irrelevant. The Spurs have made 22 straight postseasons, the longest active streak in North American professional sports. Popovich has five championship rings.
