The Spurs returned home from a quick road trip to take on the rising New Orleans Pelicans for the second time in ten days, and it didn’t look promising from the outset against a much larger team without Jakob Poeltl and Jeremy Sochan. While the Spurs used a couple for big runs to take a surprising lead into halftime, the Pelicans woke up in the second and put them away somewhat easily, handing the Spurs their tenth straight loss, 99-117.
Devin Vassell led five Spurs in double figures with 25 points on 5-12 shooting from three, and Zion Williamson once against had his way with a near triple-double of 30 points, 18 rebounds and 8 assists.
