The Spurs snapped a six-game losing streak in dramatic fashion with a close 96-88 win against the Celtics. After leading by as many as 24 points, San Antonio let Boston come back in the fourth quarter, but Dejounte Murray and Derrick came up big in the clutch to lead the team to victory.
The start of the game didn’t really suggest it was going to be as entertaining a night as it ended up being. The pace was generally slow, which benefited the half-court oriented Celtics, and both teams seemed a little sloppy when trying to play with more speed.
