The San Antonio Spurs lose their 7th straight game - a run which has included three defeats in the NBA In-Season Tournament - and after a 129-120 loss to the Sacramento Kings, the Spurs are officially eliminated from the knockout stages. *Pretends to be shocked*
The Silver & Black got off to a hot start with Victor Wembanyama dominating inside the paint and Julian Champagnie - who started in place of the injured Devin Vassell - hitting shots from beyond the arc. The Spurs led by as much as 18 points in the first quarter thanks to their aggressive style of defense which was leading to Sacramento turnovers and easy transition points for the home side.
