The understaffed San Antonio Spurs exacted revenge on the shorthanded New Orleans Pelicans as the pair of play-in tournament hopefuls jockeyed positioning on Saturday night. Despite trailing by 12 points, the good guys regained their composure and pulled off a furious comeback that brought them within a game of their division foe in the Western Conference standings.
Keldon Johnson led the Silver and Black with 21 points, eight boards, and two blocks. Though Dejounte Murray went a horrendous 4-of-19 from the field, he amassed 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists for his 13th triple-double of the season.
