Both want to get past recent reversals and perform to their standards in NBA clash

The San Antonio Spurs and visiting Cleveland Cavaliers both have questions to be answered and will look to return to their winning ways, when they clash on Dec 29 (Dec 30, Singapore time) for their second and final meeting of this National Basketball Association (NBA) season.

The Cavaliers beat the Spurs 130-117 in Cleveland on Dec 5.

The Spurs got caught in the proverbial “trap” game in their most recent contest, losing 127-114 at home to the Utah Jazz on Dec 27 after beating the reigning NBA champions Oklahoma City Thunder twice in a three-day span.

Victor Wembanyama led all scorers with 32 points in his first start since Nov 14 as San Antonio had their eight-game winning streak in regular-season games snapped.
