The Spurs are already on an exhausting road trip, in the middle game of a FIGASENI, and on their third game in four nights. It didn’t help that they were already short a few rotation players for the trip, and they got even more shorthanded with Keldon Johnson and Doug McDermott both being announced out not long before tipoff for various aches and pains. The result was more of the same for the Spurs: a slow start without their offensive leader, more competent play in the middle quarters giving them a fighting chance, but everything falling apart in the fourth quarter for a blowout loss to the Sacramento Kings, 130-112.
Two bad stretches prove too much for the shorthanded Spurs to overcome the red-hot Kings
