The Jazz are in San Antonio tonight to face a Spurs team that can be tough when they're focused, and very beatable when they're not.

After letting an 18-point lead slip away at home in a loss to Seattle on Sunday, the Spurs were embarrassed by the Nuggets in Denver two nights later. Less than 24 hours after that loss, the Spurs had rematch with the Nuggets in San Antonio and in between games, coach Gregg Popovich ordered an early morning practice to get his players" attention, giving his team about five hours of sleep.

"We deserved it," Spurs center David Robinson said. "We've been kind of slack at the end of games.

"We had a minor crisis on our hands."
