The San Antonio Spurs continued their road warrior ways once again, this time beating the 11th place New Orleans Pelicans in huge game for seeding purposes, earning the series tie-breaker and what is essentially a five-game difference in the standings. Although another let-down third quarter nearly cost them, the Spurs were the better team when it mattered most, earning the 110-108 win.
DeMar DeRozan was huge in the fourth quarter and led the Spurs with 32 points, followed by 22 from Derrick White. Zion Williamson led the Pelicans with 33 points, while Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram each scored 24.
