Spurs flip the scripts, rally from 24 points down to beat the Hawks

Well, this has been one of the wildest weeks of Spurs basketball I’ve ever watched. Just two nights after blowing a 29-point lead and losing to the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime, the Spurs returned and completely flipped the script against the Atlanta Hawks. After losing the first half 83-61 and getting down by as much as 24 early in the third quarter, the Spurs woke up on both ends and outscored the Hawks 65-33 in the second half for an improbable 126-118 win.

Both teams were getting whatever they wanted early on offense, especially in the paint, and the Spurs stayed within a point or two of the Hawks for most of the first quarter.
