San Antonio's recent form shows concerning inconsistency despite their strong overall record. The Spurs are just 2-3 in their last five games, including disappointing losses to New Orleans (104-95) and Minnesota (104-103). Their 111-99 victory over Houston provides some optimism, but road performances have been inconsistent. Victor Wembanyama's development continues, but the supporting cast has struggled to provide consistent scoring. The Spurs' defensive intensity has dipped recently, allowing opponents to score more freely than earlier in the season. Their young core sometimes lacks composure in hostile road environments, which could be problematic against an energized Charlotte crowd seeking to continue their recent surge.
