Recent Trends and Performance


The Spurs have shown a mixed bag of results in their last few games, displaying both resilience and areas needing improvement. In their most recent outing against the Lakers, despite a high-scoring affair that ended in a 109-125 loss, the team demonstrated strong offensive capabilities. They managed to score efficiently from both inside the paint and beyond the arc, with a notable 40 percent success rate from three-point range and an impressive 86 percent from the free-throw line. However, defensive challenges were evident as they allowed 125 points against them.


In contrast, during their game against New Orleans Pelicans, the Spurs secured a victory with a score of 119-115. This win showcased their ability to maintain control over possession and convert opportunities into points effectively. The team excelled in fast-break situations and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 24 points off them.

Against Charlotte Hornets though, despite an explosive offensive performance leading to a final score of 134-145 in favor of Charlotte, defensive issues persisted for San Antonio. The team struggled to contain Charlotte's offense throughout the game but showed promise offensively by recording high efficiency in field goal percentage and making significant contributions from bench players.

As we anticipate this upcoming clash at Frost Bank Center between these two formidable teams on March 21st at 8:00 PM ET broadcasted on FDSSW (San Antonio) and NBCS-PH (Philadelphia), several factors come into play that could influence the outcome.
