Why the Spurs can cover

Instead of folding, the Spurs have embraced it and have compiled a 97-50 (.660) rodeo road trip record with a point differential for all years at plus-463.
DeMar DeRozan continues to lead the Spurs' offense at 23.1 points per game. He surpassed 16,000 career points when he scored a season-high 38 on Jan. 29. Only six players have reached that plateau since DeRozan was drafted in 2009. He also went over 1,000 points for the season in that game as he posted his highest scoring output in a Spurs uniform.
