The San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA), with super rookie Victor Wembanyamar sidelined due to injury, have fallen into a swamp of 14 consecutive losses.
San Antonio lost 106-121 to the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2023-24 NBA regular league away game held at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA on the 2nd (Korean time).
San Antonio, which suffered 14 consecutive losses, ranked last in the Western Conference with 3 wins and 16 losses.
The 14-game losing streak is the second-longest losing streak since San Antonio’s founding. They suffered 16 consecutive losses in the 2022-23 season, and if they lose three more games, they will break this record.
San Antonio had eight players score in double digits, but committed 19 turnovers and self-destructed. Wembanyama was also absent due to pain in his right hip area, reducing the team’s performance.
On this day, San Antonio was evenly matched with New Orleans, 61-63, until the second quarter, but recorded eight turnovers in the third quarter alone, widening the gap. They were also pushed back in the rebound battle and it was difficult to find a clue to counterattack.
The pendulum of victory swung in the early fourth quarter. San Antonio fell behind 88-93 and lost 10 consecutive points, including two 3-point shots to Trey Murphy III, losing momentum in the chase. 19가이드03
