What we learned from the Spurs loss to the Wizards

The San Antonio Spurs extended their losing streak to seven last night, once again drawing it out to the last seconds before finally succumbing to a Wizards team that seemingly couldn’t miss. On this occasion however it wasn’t the Spurs offense that failed them so much as their defense.

Despite Gregg Popovich doubling down on an shooting heavy starting unit with the substitution of Patty Mills for Dejounte Murray, the Silver and Black just couldn’t overcome the lack of one of their two quality perimeter defenders in Derrick White, as Bradley Beal, Isiah Thomas, and even Ish Smith took advantage of an alternately leaky and lopsided back-court.
