Momentum is a fickle deity. It blesses without warning, abandons without apology, and rarely announces its intentions until it’s already halfway out the door. San Antonio enters tonight’s match-up in Phoenix still trying to convince the rest of the league (and perhaps themselves) that their recent stretch of competent basketball is something sturdier than a […]
