If youre an NBA team trying to end a losing streak, the San Antonio Spurs are not likely the opponent youd want to square off against.Thats the task at hand for the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday when they host surging San Antonio at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C.The Spurs (10-3) have been nearly bulletproof on the road to open the season, going 7-0 and winning games in Oakland against Golden State, in Houston and twice in Sacramento. But this three-game stretch -- which starts in Charlotte, heads to Boston and ends in Washington, D.C. -- undoubtedly will test the San Antonios mettle.San Antonio heads to the Queen City on the heels of a lethargic 96-91 win against shorthanded Dallas on Monday that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich labeled awful and pathetic. Just think about how Popovich can go off when San Antonio loses.The Spurs are still trying to find the proper roles for the seven new players on their roster.

Once you get adjusted to it, you understand what Pops looking for from us.Spurs reserve forward David Lee, one of those newcomers, scored 12 points in the win over Dallas. He said the difference in the way San Antonio has played on the road as compared to home is nothing to be concerned about.Sometimes it just works out that way, Lee said.

It marks only the second time a player has averaged more than 23 points in Charlotte history and is the highest scoring average since Al Jefferson averaged 21.8 in 2013-14.Backcourt mate guard Nicolas Batum continues to be one of the most versatile players in the league, doing everything from scoring, setting up his teammates and rebounding. Batum is averaging 14.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists and is one of only five players in the NBA averaging 14-6-5.We didnt have the energy we usually have, Batum said after the loss to Memphis.

Did [Landry] target, did he launch? Yeah, he did all those. You can check every box you want. Was it a dirty hit? Yeah. It was unnecessary.
