The San Antonio Spurs (59-17) defeated the Utah Jazz (47-30) by the small-ish margin of 109-103. Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich elected to rest “injured” starters LaMarcus Aldridge and Danny Green; and reserves Patty Mills, Manu Ginobili, and David Lee. Actually injured player Dejounte Murray did not play while David Lee and Joel Anthony received DNP-CDs. As a direct result, this was at times a close game.
Utah rarely wins in San Antonio, but they did earlier this season.
