Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell goes off for 41 points as Spurs lose franchise record-tying...
Spurs rookie Malaki Branham, playing 30 minutes from his home, drives against the Cavaliers’ guard Darius Garland on the way to an efficient 18-point outing.CLEVELAND — The Spurs moved to the cusp of history Monday. And not the good kind.
As it stands, the Spurs posted the record-tying defeat in familiar fashion — falling in a double-digit hole early, battling back to make it a tight game in the second half before stumbling in the final five minutes. The Spurs have a decent enough chance to get back into the win column against a Hornets squad that stands at 16-43 and also harbors a vested interest in finishing as low in the standings as possible.
The Cavs are big, long and active on defense. The Spurs were without Tre Jones, their most — and possibly only — dependable ball handler. By cutting down on mistakes, the Spurs at least allowed themselves to crawl back into the game, cutting what had been a 21-point deficit to four in the fourth quarter.
