The San Antonio Spurs picked up perhaps their most momentous victory of the season as they defeated the New Orleans Pelicans in crunch time and pulled within a few games of the tenth seed. Though the good guys are in the middle of their longest winning streak since the new year, they still have work to do if they want to clinch a trip to the play-in.
Next up for the Silver and Black is an advantageous matchup against the last-place Houston Rockets, a ball club with zero intentions of making up any ground in the Western Conference standings.
