Through 0 Quarter

The San Antonio Spurs fell flat on their face against the Boston Celtics on Sunday, but memory of that harsh defeat doesn't seem to have tripped them up today. Either team is in a position to win, but the Spurs lead against the Utah Jazz 2 to nothing.

San Antonio has been relying on point guard Tre Jones, who has two points, and small forward Keita Bates-Diop, who has zero points. Utah hasn't had any offensive standouts so far with all players held to zero points or fewer.

this is the first time they have ever been down going into the first quarter

What to Know

After four games on the road, the San Antonio Spurs are heading back home. They will take on the Utah Jazz at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday at AT&T Center after having had a few days off. The Spurs are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 122.53 points per game.

There's no need to mince words: San Antonio lost to the Boston Celtics on Sunday, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 137-93. San Antonio was down 96-77 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. One thing holding San Antonio back was the mediocre play of shooting guard Devin Vassell, who did not have his best game: he finished with only nine points on 4-for-12 shooting in his 26 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Utah lost to the Phoenix Suns at home by a decisive 117-103 margin. Despite the defeat, Utah got a solid performance out of center Walker Kessler, who had 18 points along with eight rebounds and seven blocks.

The Spurs are expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Now might not be the best time to take San Antonio against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past four consecutive games.

The losses put San Antonio at 19-56 and Utah at 35-40. San Antonio is 13-42 after losses this season, Utah 18-21.
