The San Antonio Spurs are spiraling. With their loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, they have now lost 11 games in a row. They are 3-13 on the season, putting them in dead last in the Western Conference. After a promising start, everything has been going poorly for the young Spurs.
And in their recent loss to the LA Clippers, things took a turn for the weird. When former Spur Kawhi Leonard was at the free-throw line, Spurs fans throughout Frost Bank Center were booing him. Then, head coach Gregg Popovich took the microphone and told everyone to stop. This only made the Spurs fans in attendance boo more, and Popovich’s decision was questioned on social media.
Before the Spurs’ game against the Warriors, however, Popovich doubled down, saying he stands by his decision to tell the crowd to stop. (H/t Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News)
