The Spurs looked like they were heading toward their seventh consecutive loss. The home team had led by as many as 24 points during Friday night’s game against the Celtics. But Boston made a comeback and went up 88-81 with 3:21 left in the fourth quarter.
It wouldn’t have been surprising to see San Antonio take another defeat. But the Silver and Black shut the C’s down on defense, keeping them off the board the rest of the game, and scored 15 to pull off the 96-88 win.
Dejounte Murray led the way with 29 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block — his eighth double-double of the season.
