San Antonio Spurs’ collapse: Spurs squander a 26-point lead to Clippers

Gregg Popovich’s indefinite absence due to a health issue leaves the San Antonio Spurs in a precarious position, with Mitch Johnson stepping in as interim head coach.

The episode explores the Spurs’ recent collapse against the Clippers, where they squandered a 26-point lead, highlighting poor three-point shooting and defensive struggles. Victor Wembanyama shines with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 blocks, nearly achieving a triple-double. Chris Paul also impresses, finding his rhythm with 14 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds. The discussion delves into the defensive issues, especially after Jeremy Sochan’s injury, and the team’s challenges in defending the three-point line.

Tune in for an engaging analysis of the San Antonio Spurs’ current challenges and potential strategies moving forward with host Jeff Garcia and AP Sports Writer Raul Dominguez.

  1. I love the content Jeff. Been listening to your podcast for a while. I have to disagree with you on what happened in LA. The Clips just started making shots. The Spurs did not. They shot over 50% from 3. Not much you can do but try and contest shots a little better than you had been. Also, get well Coach Pop!
