Friday, the San Antonio Spurs suffered just their 10th loss of the season, as the New Orleans Pelicans rallied back in the second half to overcome an 11-point deficit and hang 119 points on the Spurs’ defense, which was an opponent season high in scoring against San Antonio.
While the Spurs’ loss does provide Golden State (39-7) with more separation from San Antonio (36-10) in the standings, when looking at the Spurs’ entire season thus far, San Antonio is still on pace to win 64 games this season and they’re off to the second best (tying) start in franchise history.
