SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (12-24) will face the red-hot Brooklyn Net (24-12) Monday night on the road to start the new year.
The Spurs are coming off a 126-125 home loss versus the Dallas Mavericks.
Keldon Johnson had 30 points and four rebounds to lead the team while Tre Jones added 18 points. Jakob Poeltl finished with 19 points and 15 rebounds while Jeremy Sochan recorded 20 points in the loss.
Mavericks all-star Luka Doncic recorded 51 points to lead Dallas.
“We were able to maintain our game plan throughout the entire night, and it gave us a shot at the end there. Obviously, he’s [Doncic] a hell of a player, and one of the best players and scorers in the game right now,” Spurs guard Tre Jones said. “So, it’s going to be a lot every time trying to play and game plan against him.”
