The Spurs’ win in Phoenix on Thursday night improved their record to 21-5 for the year but tougher challenges lie ahead. Over the next 8 days, San Antonio faces a grueling schedule. Houston, the Clippers and the Bulls are 3 of the team's next 5 opponents. Having already dropped a game to each team, the next week offers the Spurs a chance a to silence any doubts regarding their early season performances.
The current record is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. The Spurs are just two games behind the Warriors, who currently occupy the first seed.
