2 NBA Teams That Had A Bad November

It is still early in the NBA season, but teams still want to establish winning habits early in the year.

There were a few teams that jumped up in the standings after an awesome month.

But, there were also a few that tanked any good start they might have had.

Here are two NBA teams that had a bad November.

1. San Antonio Spurs

No team had a worse November than the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs played 15 games in November, and lost 14 of them.

For a team that was expecting to be in rebuild mode, their struggles should not be too much of a surprise.

But, to only win one game in the whole month is surprisingly bad.

The one team they did beat was the Milwaukee Bucks, which sat almost all of their starters.

After a month like this, the only way to go is up.

2. Portland Trail Blazers

One team that started the season strong was the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland started the year 9-4 and was atop the Western Conference standings in October.

But, their bad month of November has watched them tank down the standings.

The Trail Blazers went 6-10 in November and now find themselves in the bottom half of the West standings.

Losing Damian Lillard to a calf injury has not helped matters, as their best player looks to return in early December.

The Trail Blazers have been a borderline playoff team over the past few years.

Months like this did the Blazers’ playoff hopes no favors.
