The Spurs are coming to the end of one of their toughest stretches of the season, going up against the top five teams in the league in five games (at least when it started). So far they’ve gone 1-3, with a win over the Bulls and close losses to the Grizzlies, Suns and Warriors. However, the latter was especially disappointing considering I they lost a 17-point lead to a Golden State squad that was missing its top six players.
The Spurs will be looking to get the bad taste of that loss out of their mouths tonight against a Miami Heat team that had briefly risen up to first in the East but has since gone 5-5, moving them back down the third.
