Spurs have inconsistency issues exposed in home loss to Hawks

Inconsistency issues plagued the San Antonio Spurs in the early parts of the season. They regularly struggled to string together a solid 48 minutes of basketball. This sent them spiraling down towards the bottom of the Western Conference and resulted in the longest losing streak in Gregg Popovich’s tenure as head coach.

Over the past few weeks, the Spurs have been playing their best basketball of the season. LaMarcus Aldridge‘s emergence as a premier three-point threat has opened up the lane for DeMar DeRozan to go on a historic run of high-efficiency games. Even as they sat outside of the playoff picture it looked like the Spurs would be able to salvage their season and sneak into the playoffs.
