Spurs at the Bottom

Spurs At The BottomThe San Antonio Spurs have been the barometer of success in the NBA. They have made the playoffs in the previous 22 seasons, tied for the NBA record and the longest current playoff streak in any major league in North America. But that record is in jeopardy right now with the Spurs sitting at the bottom of the Southwest division with a 22-31 record.

The Spurs played on Monday night and they lost to the Nuggets for their fifth straight at home. LaMarcus Aldridge had a big night with 33 points and 6 rebounds and Dejounte Murray had 14 points and 9 assists. Patty Mills and Derrick White combined for 26 points off the bench for the Spurs.

San Antonio ranks 9th in the NBA in scoring at 113.1 points per game this season. The Spurs are 16th off the boards with an average of 45.2 rebounds per contest and they are also 13th in passing at 24.4 assists per game. San Antonio is 21st in scoring defense at 114.4 points per game allowed.

Thunder Win Streak Ends Versus Boston

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s four-game winning streak ended at the hands of the Boston Celtics on Sunday night as the Celtics hacked out a 112-111 victory in OKC. The Thunder though have won eight out of their last 10 games played and they are 32-21 SU on the current season, 6th in the Western Conference team standings.

Shai-Gilgeous Alexander and Danilo Gallinari each scored 24 points but Alexander turned the ball over in the Thunder’s final possession against Boston. The Thunder’s point guards- Chris Paul and Dennis Schroder finished with 22 points apiece. Terrance Ferguson returned from injury but did not score against Boston.

Who Wins?

San Antonio is 3-7 SU in their last 10 games played. The Spurs are 1-5 SU in their last six games played on the road, and 5-10 SU in 15 road games against the Western Conference. Oklahoma City is 8-2 SU in their last 10 games played. The Thunder are 3-2 SU in their last five home games, and 11-5 SU in their last 16 home games against the Western Conference. Head to head, the Spurs are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games played against the Thunder.

The Spurs are having a terrible season and they are falling apart in their current road trip. San Antonio has lost five straight games, all on the road. If that’s not bad enough, they will hit the road again and face the Thunder in the loudest arena in the league. DeMar DeRozan is questionable with back spasms. He missed Monday’s game against the Nuggets.

The Thunder are coming off a one-point loss to the Boston Celtics. Before that, they won four straight games. This team wasn’t supposed to be here but Chris Paul, Danilo Gallinari, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are having fantastic seasons and the Thunder are one of the top teams in the West right now.

San Antonio has struggled on the road, going 8-18 away from home this season. Meanwhile, the Thunder are 17-11 at home this season and they have won four out of their last five games. The Spurs’ road woes are well-documented this season. You can add this one to that narrative.
