What we learned from the Spurs win over the Suns
This was the definition of a no-win situation.
Win a game against the worst team in the league (one that’s missing two of its best players, no less) and no one cares. It’s what you’re supposed to do. Lose against them? Well, now you’ve got a problem on your hands.
The Spurs 20-point loss to the Suns back in November came near the beginning of a pretty rough stretch. It seemed the surest sign yet that all was not right in Spursland and that we were all in for a bit of a bumpy ride this season. The Spurs went on to lose 8 of their next 12 games and found themselves in an unfamiliar position near the bottom of the league’s standings. Y’all, it was a swoon. The Spurs were swooning.
