The San Antonio Spurs’ season were eliminated from playoff contention on Wednesday, dropping their first-round play-in game to the New Orleans Pelicans, 113-103.
Six different Spurs scored in double digits in the game, Devin Vassell leading the way with 23 points. But San Antonio struggled to stifle the Pelicans’ stars, especially after Dejounte Murray and Jakob Poeltl ran into foul trouble.
Observations
- Well, they really made it. The Spurs traded their best player before the season, they traded another starter at the deadline and still made it into the NBA play-in over a team that probably has four or five future Hall of Famers (or six if you’re a Malik Monk truther).
