While the Lakers are stumbling, bumbling and fumbling their way to the finish line of the regular season and falling out of play-in game contention, the Spurs are doing the exact opposite with their spot becoming more solidified by the day.

Keldon Johnson scored 28 points to lead the undermanned Spurs — down Jakob Poeltl and Dejounte Murray on the night — to a victory over the vastly, vastly undermanned Trail Blazers, 113-92.
