In another of a seemingly unending list of “must win” games, the Spurs welcomed the lottery bound Orlando Magic into the AT&T Arena. The Magic entered having lost 7 or their last 8 games and were on the first night of a back to back, but the Spurs knew that they had to remain sharp, especially against the returning Jonathon Simmons (who hit the Spurs with 17 points in their last matchup). The Spurs knew what they had to do - WIN - and they did.
With a new starting lineup (the 24th this season) of Patty Mills, Dejounte Murray, Danny Green, Kyle Anderson and LaMarcus Aldridge, the good guys came out wanting to get LMA the ball early.
