The Spurs suffered their second loss in a row at home tonight against a Cavaliers team that really hasn’t been able to find the form they had all of last year. Playing just their 5th home game going back to the end of November, the game was a back and forth affair through much of the first half before a 12-0 run near the end allowed them to take a 55-49 lead into the locker room. The 3rd quarter played out much the same, but an 18-4 Cleveland run to open the 4th found the Spurs down 10 and staring down a 2 game home losing streak. The Cavaliers were able to keep San Antonio at arm’s length the rest of the way behind big double doubles from Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland, handing San Antonio only their second losing streak of the entire season and dropping them to 23-9 on the year.
San Antonio will wrap up 2025 at home Wednesday night with a rematch with the New York Knicks of the Emirates Cup Final. Tip-off is at 6:00 CT.
