After a two-win preseason, the San Antonio Spurs aimed to kick off their regular season on a high note. Unfortunately, those plans were dashed when they faced the reigning Western Conference champions, the Dallas Mavericks.
Led by Luka Doncic's impressive 28-point performance, Dallas handed the Spurs a 120-109 defeat, marking San Antonio's third consecutive season starting with a first-game loss.
Currently, the Spurs stand at 4-5, recently claiming their fourth win of the season in a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
The Utah Jazz have also had a rocky start to the 2023-2024 NBA season. After enduring a tough six-game losing streak, they finally claimed their first win against the Chicago Bulls. However, any momentum was short-lived, as they followed up with a 123-100 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Jazz sit at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 1-7 record. Offensive struggles have been a major hurdle, with the Jazz currently ranking last in the league in points per game, averaging only 104.3.
