SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (7-18) will visit the Miami Heat (12-14) as the team will meet for the first time this season. Their second matchup this season will be in Mexico City.
GAME REWIND
The Spurs are coming off a 118-109 home win over the Houston Rockets. The team also snapped their 11-game losing skid. It was their longing losing skid this season.
Keldon Johnson had 32 points and seven rebounds to lead the team while Tre Jones added 26 points. Romeo Langford finished with 11 points and five assists while Charles Bassey recorded 10 points and four blocks off the bench.
"It was definitely a team effort tonight. I can't take all the joy. They put me in good situations to be successful. Coach [Popovich] puts me in good situations to be successful," Johnson said following the game against the Rockets.
“The last couple of days, we spent working on just defense. I think that the message got across. These guys showed that it carried over from two days of practice into the game today. I think losing helps you gain that focus," said Gregg Popovich on the team's defense against Houston.
