Wiz Haven't Won in San Antonio Since '99
Just how long has it been since the Washington Wizards won a game in San Antonio? The Y2K bug was a real threat and “Livin’ La Vida Loca” was topping the charts the last time the Wiz topped the Spurs in Texas, but they’ll have an opportunity to break that streak Wednesday when the clubs renew acquaintances in the Lone Star State.
San Antonio has been phenomenal at home this season, posting a spotless 13-0 record in front of their hometown fans including Monday’s 118-81 hammering of the Utah Jazz. The seemingly ageless Spurs have won their last three games by an average of 28.5 points en route to a fantastic 21-5 record – the second-best start in franchise history.
The AT&T Center has also been a solid source for UNDER bettors when the Wiz and Spurs have collided in San Antonio, evidenced by the OVER/UNDER going 1-6 in their last seven meetings in Texas.
