The San Antonio Spurs survived a furious second-half comeback bid from the Oklahoma City Thunder as Lonnie Walker IV drained a go-ahead three with less than two seconds remaining. Those late-game heroics turned an otherwise underwhelming outing into an unforgettable night, but the good guys have another shot at a shorthanded opponent this Friday.
The New Orleans Pelicans enter this divisional matchup only a game-and-a-half ahead of the Silver and Black in the play-in race, making this one of the most meaningful contests for the rest of the season. With no Brandon Ingram or Zion Williamson, head coach Gregg Popovich and crew should end their seven-game homestand with a much-needed dub.
