After their hot start to the season, starting the year 4-0, the San Antonio Spurs’ schedule hit a bit of rough patch. They played the Utah Jazz twice and then hosted the LA Clippers.
The Spurs went 1-2 through that stretch. For a team that looked like the class of the Western Conference – at least until the Golden State Warriors figure things out – losing two out of three is never a great sign.
Perhaps more concerning, when LaMarcus Aldridge and Pau Gasol are on the court together, the Spurs are being outscored 25 points. Not great.
