The 2022-23 season can be defined by three key stretches for the Spurs. They had two historically bad periods of play. The first was from November 2 to December 4, when they went 1-16, including an 11-game losing streak, with the only win being against an extremely shorthanded Milwaukee Bucks squad at home. Then, from January 7 through February 25, they went 1-21, including a franchise record 16-game losing streak with the only win coming against a Brooklyn Nets squad that was missing Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving (before they were traded).
If you do the math, the Spurs were 2-37 across those two stretches, which means at 18-51 overall, they have gone 16-14 in the three smaller periods surrounding them.
