History shows that when the New Orleans Pelicans beat the San Antonio Spurs more than once within the same season, they get into the playoffs.
This was proven true during the 2007-08 (2-2), 2008-09 (2-2), 2010-11 (2-2), 2014-15 (3-1) and 2017-18 (3-1) campaigns.
For those curious, the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons also resulted in playoff trips but are not as relevant to this discussion because a fledging New Orleans organization was in the East at the time, facing San Antonio only twice on the schedule with being in a different conference.
Well, the Pelicans have a 1-2 record against the Spurs thus far this season.
