San Antonio Spurs

1. SUNS MAKE QUICK WORK OF SPURS

"The Suns were led by their "big three" with Devin Booker's game-high 27 points. Chris Paul added 22 while Kevin Durant scored 18. The Suns are 7-0 in games where all three of them play."

2. MAGIC FOR COMMANDERS

Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson is waiting to hear back from Dan Snyder after his, Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales' bid to buy the Washington Commanders was submitted.

"Our bid is in. We don't know what's going to happen," Johnson said on "The Today Show." "We'll see what happens with Mr. Snyder making that decision, but we'll be excited about it."

Johnson, Harris and Rales reportedly submitted their bid in late March for a record $6 billion and is bidding alongside Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

3. MAGIC ELIMINATED, EAST LOTTERY TEAMS CEMENTED

Even though the odds were incredibly long from the beginning of the season, the Magic was not officially eliminated from play-in contention until Tuesday after losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

4. WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S GAMES

All times EST

5. NEXT SPURS GAME

The Spurs are back in action tomorrow night in Austin against the Portland Trail Blazers. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. You can watch in-market on Bally Sports Southwest or out-of-market on NBA League Pass.
