The San Antonio Spurs, who have won three of their last four, hope to continue their success on the road when they begin a seven-game trip with a stop in Atlanta on Friday.
San Antonio starts the voyage after a 114-91 loss to Golden State on Tuesday, but the Spurs had won their previous three and six of their last eight overall games. The Hawks, who lost to the Dallas Mavericks 118-117 on Wednesday, have dropped four of their last five.
This will be the first meeting of the season between the two teams. Atlanta swept the two-game series a year ago for the first time since the 1996-97 season.
