The Spurs' play at the Alamodome has fast become a disaster of its own, forcing the team to drag a three-game home losing streak into tonight's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers.

The current swoon is the Spurs' longest at home since they dropped four straight at the end of the 1996-97 season, a season in which David Robinson played in only six games. In no other season during Robinson's 13-year tenure have the Spurs lost more than three consecutive games at home.

Having fallen to 16-7 at the Alamodome this season, the Spurs are only one home loss shy of what they suffered all of last year when they went an NBA-best 33-8. Never have they finished with an overall winning record while losing more than 12 home games.
