San Antonio's balanced attack is turning heads during win streak image

The San Antonio Spurs are the hottest team in basketball.

 

No team has a better record in its last ten games than San Antonio (9-1), and the Spurs’ seven-game winning streak is the longest active mark in the NBA. This remarkable stretch also comes with a noteworthy detail: the Spurs have had a different leading scorer in each of those seven victories.

This diversity in scoring leaders reveals an important strength in today’s NBA: multiple legitimate scoring threats. Rather than being overly reliant on one or two players, the Spurs have seen contributions from a combination of veteran trade acquisitions (Harrison Barnes and De'Aaron Fox) and young homegrown talent (Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, Dylan Harper, and Keldon Johnson), even as their face of the franchise, Victor Wembanyama, continues to work his way back from a calf injury.

 

San Antonio’s balance makes them difficult to scheme against, even for the league’s stingiest defenses, and their multifaceted offensive attack will be key as the Spurs look to continue their winning ways and establish themselves as a contender in a tight Western Conference.
