The San Antonio Spurs are coming off a dominant performance against the Atlanta Hawks in which they led by as many as 42 points. It was the perfect way to start a road trip in which they’ll face six Eastern Conference teams capped off with a game in Oklahoma City. As I wrote back in December, this trip should be what builds the team’s confidence despite the extended time on the road.
The Spurs will be visiting seven opponents in 13 days in their annual Rodeo Road Trip — a tradition that was met with a lowly 2-6 record last season.
