The erratic Spurs have lost three straight by nine combined points following a season-best, three-game winning streak. Their inability to keep leads and close out games have become unfortunate trademarks. They have just two contests at home left before embarking on their annual eight-game road trip while the rodeo is in town. San Antonio won just one game on that trip last year so it must take advantage of this chance to regain some momentum. Utah was stunned by short-handed Houston in its last outing and should be in for more resistance from an inferior foe Wednesday.
