The San Antonio Spurs have finally arrived at the end of another grueling 82-game regular season. And while they didn’t lock up a guaranteed spot in the Western Conference playoffs, they will have another shot to punch their ticket into the postseason when they face the New Orleans Pelicans in round one of the play-in tournament.
As the tenth seed, the good guys must now travel into enemy territory for a single-elimination contest in front of what is sure to be a noisy Smoothie King Center. Though the Silver and Black went 3-1 versus their Southwest Division rivals, both squads are as healthy as they have been all year, and they have a clean slate heading into tonight.
