A last-minute loss to the Phoenix Suns in Mexico City on Saturday will likely have the San Antonio Spurs in an inhospitable mood when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday at AT&T Center in the Alamo City.
The Spurs (31-9) have only lost back-to-back contests just once this season and are 7-1 in games after a loss, winning those seven games by an average of 19.7 points.
It would be foolish to expect anything but a fiery comeback performance from San Antonio when its battle Minnesota, a team it has beaten eight straight times dating back to a loss in April 2014 in Minneapolis.
