The Spurs’ annual Rodeo Road Trip got off to a bit of a bumpy start Monday night. A Kawhi Leonard-less San Antonio team lost by 15 points and its 27-game streak with 100+ points was snapped in the process.
It was an abysmal offensive performance that set season-lows in points (74), assists (11), field goal percentage (36.6), 3-point percentage (21.1) and free throw percentage (55.6).
The good news? San Antonio, still a top-five offensive unit after its stinker, can’t possibly play worse on the offensive side of the ball.
The second stop on the 2017 Rodeo Road Trip should be a easier test, especially if Joel Embiid misses his fifth consecutive game with a knee injury.
