The San Antonio Spurs return to action after a two-day break on Monday when they take on the Utah Jazz

The Spurs have struggled to avoid letdown quarters and halves as of late, proving to jeopardize their chances of victory. In their previous outing, they were defeated 133-113 by the Orlando Magic, and despite being tied 51-51 at halftime, they lost by 20.

"We've played two and three quarters well, but we have a hard time putting together a 48-minute game," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said afterward.

"We saw that when the defense collapsed at the end of the third quarter and into the fourth. The Magic outscored us in a 10-minute period, 46-20. We've seen it before, and we saw it (Friday). That's the deal."

The Jazz have won two consecutive games and last won 120-112 over the Washington Wizards. They received three 20-point performances in the game, between Malik Beasley (25), Jordan Clarkson (23), and Lauri Markkanen (21). Collin Sexton came close with 18 points.
