The Spurs are reeling — well, as much as a team on pace for 63 wins can be “reeling.”
San Antonio dropped its last two games to division foes (New Orleans, Dallas) by a combined 20 points. Neither team is in playoff contention, though the Pelicans sit just three games back of the Nuggets for the final playoff spot. This two-game skid ties the Spurs’ longest losing streak of the season.
Tuesday night the Spurs welcome the Oklahoma City Thunder to the AT&T Center for their second of four home games this week. It’s the first meeting between the teams since last year’s Western Conference semifinals, when Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 65 points in the series-clinching victory.
