It’s been a bittersweet week for the Spurs. They had two close losses, including one to the Rockets, and a great away win against the reeling Celtics. It wasn’t the best three-game road trip they’ve had all season, but it could have been worse. Now a three-game homestand awaits in which San Antonio will have the chance to make a push up the standings.
To do so the Spurs will have to open and close games well, which means figuring out how to make the starting lineup perform better and finding ways to score late.
