The Spurs’ long civic nightmare comes to an end, as Keldon Johnson’s 25 points help...
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson reacts as he runs up court during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Utah Jazz Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2023, in Salt Lake City. SALT LAKE CITY — Late in the fourth quarter Tuesday, with the end of a losing streak in sight, Spurs forward Keldon Johnson turned an ankle in a collision with Utah big man Walker Kessler.
The win halted a 16-game losing streak that was not only the longest current skid in the NBA but the longest in club history. An 11-0 run — sparked by back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers from Wesley, Doug McDermott and Devonte Graham — helped the Spurs regain the lead midway through the fourth. The victory improved the Spurs to 15-47 and allowed them to avoid the ignominious distinction of posting the first winless rodeo trip in club history.Here are three takeaways from Tuesday’s much-needed win, which allowed the Spurs to head home on a high note:Yes, Johnson is imperfect as a leading scorer. With his 3-point shot having disappeared as the season has worn on, he has reverted to breakneck drives to the basket to find his points.
