San Antonio saw their four-game winning streak stopped as they finished a brief Western Conference road trip with a tightly contested loss to the surging Phoenix Suns. Despite roaring back from a 16-point third-quarter deficit behind a patchwork lineup of second and third-stringers, the Spurs fell a tad short of what would have been a glorious comeback.
Dejounte Murray was fantastic for the Silver and Black as he poured in 17 points and 14 assists on the way to a seventh consecutive double-double. Bryn Forbes notched 15 points off the bench, Doug McDermott and Jakob Poeltl added 14 points apiece, and Josh Primo became the first Spurs rookie since David Robinson to log four blocks and three steals in a game.
