It’s a little ironic that, after making probably-a-franchise-record THREE trades on Deadline Day that were probably intended for the team “tank” for a better draft spot, the Spurs went out and won their next two games anyway.
It’s a little more ironic that they went out and beat the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday, 124-114. New Orleans made one of the headlining moves on Deadline Day by acquiring CJ McCollum hoping to vault Portland for a spot in the postseason play-in, but the Pelicans have now lost two games since.
McCollum torched San Antonio for 36 points, 11 rebounds and five assists.
