Having wrapped up a 1-14 month that stands as the worst in club history, the Spurs hope...
San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones goes to the basket as Oklahoma City Thunder guard Isaiah Joe, left, defends during the first half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, in Oklahoma City. Spurs point Tre Jones picked off a pass in the first half Wednesday and was off to the races.But two Thunder ball boys were on the court, mopping a spot on the floor. They were as surprised as anyone to see Jones steaming their way.
Wednesday’s defeat was their ninth in a row, matching the 1988-89 squad for the third-longest in club history.Walking off the floor at the Paycom Center, where the Thunder did not take their first lead of the second half until 6½ minutes remained, Spurs guard Devin Vassell stared at the arena ceiling, a picture of desperate exasperation.
It was only eight days ago Zion Williamson and Co. barged into the Spurs’ home arena and bullied their way to a 129-110 victory.The Pelicans, meanwhile, are coming off a 126-108 dismantling of a Toronto squad that opened the month by handing the Spurs the worst loss of the Gregg Popovich coaching era .
It is also true that every loss helps in that endeavor, especially those like Wednesday’s against an OKC team in a similar circumstance. “The second half, I felt like we came out soft,” Jones said. “They were able to get momentum back, and they built their confidence off of that.” For now, Popovich hopes his own collection of youngsters picked up a new lesson in Wednesday’s collapse, which marked their first loss this season when leading by at least 15 points.
