Philadelphia 76ers vs. San Antonio Spurs Watch FREE Live Streaming Online NBA 2014 Game from A T & T Center in San Antonio at 8:30 PM ET
With Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili likely back on the floor for the league-leading Spurs, the 76ers will try to avoid moving within one of tying the NBA record for consecutive losses Monday night in San Antonio -- a city they have rarely left with a victory.
Philadelphia (15-55) continued limping toward history Saturday with its 24th straight loss, 91-81 in Chicago. The 76ers moved ahead of the Vancouver Grizzlies (1995-96), Denver (1997-98) and Charlotte (2011-12) for the league's second-longest single-season slide.
Two more losses stand between the Sixers and the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers, who dropped 26 in a row to set the NBA mark. With its next two in San Antonio and Houston -- a combined 54-15 at home -- the odds are not looking good for Philadelphia.
"There's a win in this group," said coach Brett Brown, who spent the previous seven seasons as a Spurs assistant under Popovich. "We will continue to fight and continue to stay together. I'm just thrilled, I'm proud of their ability, their character, to stay together in what's clearly difficult times."
The 76ers are facing those two Texas teams in back-to-back games for the second time this season. Six Spurs scored in double figures in a 109-85 rout at Philadelphia on Nov. 11 before the Sixers beat the Rockets 123-117 in overtime two nights later.
If Philadelphia drops both games on its swing through the Lone Star state, it will return home to face Detroit on Saturday with a dubious distinction looming.
With Duncan, who turns 38 in April, and the 36-year-old Ginobili getting some much-needed rest in the second game of a back-to-back, Tony Parker scored 20 points and Danny Green added 18 to help San Antonio extend its longest run of the season.
After closing their 3-0 trip against the Warriors, the Spurs return home trying to extend their winning streak in San Antonio to 10. Their most recent home loss came on the same day the 76ers earned their last victory in late January.
