Season 50, Game 26
San Antonio 107, Phoenix 92
21-5, 2nd in the West
The Spurs used two strong extended surges – an 18-4 run to end the 1st half, and a 21-3 run in the middle of the 4th – to seemingly beat the Suns handily.
Surrounding those two spurts, however, was some pretty mediocre play: 39-7 in those two stretches, 68-85 in the rest. The Suns were 17 points better than the Spurs over a much larger margin of this game.
It was obvious, too. The Suns played ball-hawking defense that flummoxed the Spurs, and pushed the offense whenever they could.
