The Spurs were limping towards the end of what was a grueling month when they last met Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and the L.A. Clippers within the confines of the AT&T Center.
Their performance that night, a 107-97 victory, would be the first in a series of recent examples that this team isn’t nearly as bad as their 11-16 record would indicate they are. They defended aggressively that night, holding the Clippers to just 39% shooting while coming away with 8 steals and 8 blocks, and they shared the wealth offensively, with six players scoring in double figures and 8 players taking at least 8 shots.
While it hasn’t always been pretty, San Antonio is 4-3 in their first 8 games following that win and were a poor second half away from beating 19-9 Houston two times in as many tries to pump that up to 5-2. They continue to resemble more and more of the team they actually are, and while that might be a deeply flawed team, there’s reason to hope that they’re turning the corner. Tonight will be another chance for them to flash their true form in their search for basketball harmony.
The Spurs held Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Lou Williams to a combined 18-56 shooting in their last match-up. Can they have success there again?
