Obviously it’s way too early to tell, and there are some clear obstacles in the way, but history bodes well for the Spurs if they can keep up their torrid play away from the confines of the AT&T Center. While it would definitely be beneficial to do better at home too, any team hoping to win a championship needs to know how to get things done on the road, and this year’s Spurs are showing it can do just that. The result is a continued (if slow) rise in this week’s power rankings.
The Road Spurs are now 10-0, overcoming Kemba Walker's late-game heroics in Charlotte and a 14-point deficit in Boston before wrapping up the three-game trip in Washington on Saturday.
