The Spurs will close out the first weekend of the season with their first back-to-back against the Pelicans tonight in New Orleans. After two solid wins to kick off the campaign, the Silver and Black have an opportunity to widen their early lead in the Southwest division as the only team with a winning record. Given how improbable that seemed after a dismal preseason and the looming stretch of games against teams that will likely be vying for home-court come playoff time, this game may well be the high point of the Spurs’ opening stretch.
