Let the record show that on May the 15th, 2021, the San Antonio Spurs lost to Phoenix Suns in spectacular fashion, and no one really cared.
I say this not as an indictment, but as an admission of my own guilt. Distracted in the extreme, I watched the Suns slap the Silver and Black around like an unwanted stepchild as if I were watching myself watch the game from outside my own body.
To be fair, it would have been hard to lock into this game without the additional spectacle of San Antonio’s first Hall of Fame Induction Speech since David Robinson’s.
