Going into the season many thought this team would be at the bottom of the barrel, rebuilding with young players and collecting losses along the way, well the San Antonio Spurs had other plans, because they now are heading to the play-in tournament. After a convincing win against the Denver Nuggets and the Suns beating the Lakers the Spurs officially clinched their spot in the play-in.
The game didn’t start the way the away side would have liked as the Spurs preferred defender on Nikola Jokic, Jakob Poeltl was called for two fouls in the first 90 seconds, sending him to the bench.
