Despite having several opportunities to steal a game they shouldn’t have had a chance of winning, the Spurs logged another home loss. The Silver and Black couldn’t take advantage of the Hawks’ mistakes late in the game and fell 134-129 in double overtime.
Slow starts are expected on SEGABABAs, which is why it wasn’t surprising that the Spurs’ perimeter defense struggled early on. Unfortunately, that was a recipe for disaster against a Hawks team that has crafty pick and roll ball handlers who took advantage of the ease with which they were allowed past the first line of defense to attack the paint, draw help and find Clint Capela all alone under the rim.
