Spurs Hit 10-Game Win Streak
The San Antonio Spurs extended their winning streak to 10 games—their first since 2015-16—after rallying from 15 points down to beat Toronto on February 25. The streak has positioned them as the #2 team in the West, marking a dramatic turnaround for the franchise.
- This is the first season for head coach Mitch Johnson, who took over after Gregg Popovich transitioned to the front office. Johnson served as the acting head coach for most of the previous season after Popovich stepped away for health reasons. - The victory against the Raptors secured the franchise's first winning season since the 2018-19 campaign. - During the 10-game streak, the Spurs have averaged 124.7 points per game while holding their opponents to an average of 110.4 points. - Key offensive contributions in the win over Toronto came from Devin Vassell with 21 points and De'Aaron Fox with 20 points. - Despite a quiet offensive night with only 12 points, star center Victor Wembanyama made a significant defensive impact with five blocks, including a crucial one in the final minute of the game. - The team's current record is 42-16, placing them just two games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top spot in the Western Conference. - Earlier this season, the Spurs were the runners-up in the inaugural NBA Cup, where they notably snapped the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder's 16-game winning streak in the semifinals. - The Spurs will look to extend their streak to 11 games when they face the Brooklyn Nets on the road.
