The last time the Clippers beat the Spurs in San Antonio, Michael Olowokandi was still on the team. The year was 2002. Yes, it’s been that long. The last time the Clippers beat the Spurs at all was in 2006. The streak spans seventeen games between the Clippers and the Spurs and is good enough [...]
