The Spurs were looking for a quality win to get back on track, and came close to getting one. San Antonio played energetic defense and shot the lights out for most of the game before going through a big drought late that doomed them to a close 114-109 loss against the Cavaliers.
The Spurs started the game looking like a team that hadn’t played together for a while, because that’s just what they were. The return of several players to the starting lineup was surely a good thing, but early on, there was some palpable confusion in the unit.
