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.

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!
losing our (now) best player, Sochan was very impactful.
