The San Antonio Spurs are heading into a challenging nine-game road trip after completing a seven-game homestand. The team's performance has been under scrutiny, with a comparison to last season's statistics revealing a decline in win percentage. The Spurs suffered a 117-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, with players Mitchell and Mobley contributing significantly to the Cavaliers' victory. Despite improvements in defensive rankings, the Spurs are struggling with 3-point accuracy on offense. The team's coaching decisions, including playing Wemby and Sochan out of position, have also been a point of discussion.
