AT&T CENTER – The San Antonio Spurs currently own the NBA’s longest winning streak, as the Spurs have won eight games in a row. When it comes to the Spurs’ last four wins, however, San Antonio has faced adversity, as they’ve trailed by 9, 8, 16 and 16 points in that order against the Indiana Pacers, New Orleans Pelicans, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Houston Rockets.
For the Spurs to overcome these odds, not only did they have to buckle down on their league best defense to get them clawing back in the game, but when crunch time came, they relied on their go-to scorer in Kawhi Leonard, who made notable scoring plays, but also key defensive plays as well in those games.
