Spurs' Dejounte Murray: Every game is a playoff, a Game 7 for us
The back-to-back losses dropped the Spurs to fifth in a heated Western Conference playoff race
The Spurs lost the back to back in Los Angeles against Clippers and Lakers.
Per ESPN, The back-to-back losses dropped the Spurs to fifth in a heated Western Conference playoff race. The No. 4 through No. 10 spots in the West are separated by three games or less in the loss column with one week remaining in the NBA regular season.
The Denver Nuggets (43-35) are just one game out of the eighth spot behind the New Orleans Pelicans (44-34) and 1.5 games behind the Spurs (45-34).
"Man, we've got to know that every game is a playoff, a Game 7 for us," said point guard Dejounte Murray, who had 23 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. "We've got to play for 48 minutes, and if the game decides to go to overtime like it did tonight, we've got to be ready to play even more. We've just got to be ready to compete for the whole game. We come out hot in a lot of games, and there are some quarters we give up 38-40 points, and it ends up hurting us in the end."
"We are staying together," Murray added. "One thing I can say, we are staying together. There is a lot going on. When you lose games, it is easy to lose focus."
