What we learned from the Spurs win over the Pelicans
The Spurs closed this game out with a decent sized lead and the end of their bench mopping up the final minutes in front of a very sparse crowd. In the grand scheme of the NBA, this game was a tree falling in the deep recesses of a forest. Stats were put up. A victory was recorded. Does it still count if no one really cared?
Meanwhile, as this game’s embers were dying out, the Celtics and Warriors were about to spend 48 minutes tossing haymakers at each other in front of a national TV audience. The juxtaposition of atmospheres between these two games was almost more interesting than anything that happened at the Smoothie King Center on Saturday.
