The Spurs have the second-best scoring defense in the NBA, allowing only 98.1 points per game, and that defense was more than up to the task against the slumping Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.
San Antonio crushed Cleveland 103-74 at home, extending its winning streak to five games and allowing only 91.4 points per game over that stretch. With time quickly running out to catch Golden State in the standings, the Spurs have a golden opportunity in this head-to-head matchup at home.
