In their penultimate game of the regular season, the already play-in clinched Spurs rested most of their stars and key rotation players before getting humbled by the Phoenix Suns 140-103. The eventual outcome was unsurprising and expected, but before the game it was revealed Coach Pop would not be coaching the game as he had decided to go to Tim Duncan’s Hall of Fame ceremony and this left the Spurs with a new head coach for the game. The choice was to go with assistant Mitch Johnson as he was the one who had been assigned to scout their opponents, similarly to why Becky Hammon was picked to coach earlier in the year when Pop got ejected.
