The San Antonio Spurs haven't won a game in over a month, but it's become clear that wins and losses aren't paramount to the team's goals this season.

During the team's 14-game losing streak, they have played well at times, but ultimately not enough to grab a win.

Perhaps that's why the Spurs aren't dead last in CBS Sports' power rankings. Instead, the Spurs remain at No. 28 for a second straight week.

"Make it 14 straight losses for the Spurs, who fell to the Hawks and Pelicans this week. They had a legit chance to win the Atlanta game, but Trae Young took over late to dash San Antonio's hopes of a much-needed win. Jeremy Sochan found his offense, averaging 23 points on 71% 3-point shooting in the two games, while Keldon Johnson added 16.5 points per game on 55/50/86 splits," CBS Sports writes.

The Spurs will have two chances this week to break their losing streak, but it likely won't come tomorrow night when San Antonio heads up north to face the Western Conference top-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves. The Spurs have won just three games this season while the Wolves are in the midst of a four-game winning streak.

San Antonio will have a better chance to snap its losing streak on Friday when the Chicago Bulls come to town. The Bulls are 7-14 so far this season, but they have found a glimmer of hope after winning their last two games against the Milwaukee Bucks and New Orleans Pelicans.
