The Spurs coach is ignoring the team’s latest long losing streak to maintain his focus...
Points, Johnson, 21.7 per game; rebounds, Poeltl, 9.1; assists, Jones, 6.3; steals, Jones, 1.3; blocks, Poeltl, 1.2.Points, Siakam, 24.7 per game; rebounds, Siakam, 7.9; assists, VanVleet, 6.5; steals, Anunoby, 2.1; blocks, Koloko, 1.1.• Toronto logged a 143-100 victory in San Antonio on Nov. 2, the most lopsided loss the Spurs have suffered under Popovich. Trent and Siakam combined for 46 in that game.
The Spurs arrived in Toronto on Tuesday with a nine-game losing streak after falling to the Bulls in the first game of their nine-contest rodeo trip. They will face the Raptors Wednesday night having lost 14 of their last 15, including in Chicago, where they were outscored 38-19 in a turnover-plagued fourth quarter.
Instead of coaching Dominique Wilkins, Sean Elliott, Avery Johnson, Vinny Del Negro, Perdue and other experienced players, Popovich is trying to teach the game to a young squad that includes four teenagers. Fortunately, Popovich said, the kids all have what he called “great character,” one of the reasons why they can hang with teams like the Bulls, with their DeMar DeRozans, Zach LaVines, Nikola Vucevics and Andre Drummonds, for three quarters before falling apart in the fourth.
