The NBA schedule makers did Tre Jones a favor this season.
Instead of coming in and out on quick trips to Minnesota, the Spurs got into town Sunday and stayed through Wednesday night as they played two games against the Timberwolves.
That meant the Spurs guard and Apple Valley native got to spend some extended time with his family instead of just a little while.
"It definitely works out as far as maximizing the time at home," Jones said.
Minnesota is getting to see Jones in his new, expanded role as the Spurs' starting point guard.
