The Spurs have lost 10 in a row, tying the 1986-87 squad for the second-longest skid in franchise history, and are 1-15 in their last 16 games. If the Spurs (6-17) lose their next three, they will match the 1988-89 squad for the longest losing streak in club history. – 11:53 PM

That was a great defensive play by Dyson Daniels on Keldon Johnson there before the Naji layup. Jumped in front, didn’t foul, stood his ground and contested the shot. – 9:53 PM
