San Antonio Spurs

1. SPURS FALL VS. JAZZ

"They knew they would have to rely on others from their young core in order to accomplish the task, and though they did — as five Spurs tallied double-digit point totals — the Jazz proved to be too much for the young team, using an explosive fourth quarter to put the game on ice and secure a 128-117 victory."

2. SPURS LEGENDS TO BE INDUCTED INTO HALL OF FAME

"Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, former guard Tony Parker, former assistant Becky Hammon and former forward Pau Gasol are all among those who will be elected into the Hall of Fame when the official 2023 class is revealed on Saturday."

3. SPURS POWER RANKINGS

"However, luckily(?) for them, there's still the Detroit Pistons, the only team to place worse than the Spurs in Sports Illustrated's latest power rankings. The Spurs are clocking in at No. 29 for the second consecutive week."

4. THURSDAY NIGHT'S GAMES

Boston Celtics @ Milwaukee Bucks, 6:30 p.m., TNT

New Orleans Pelicans @ Denver Nuggets, 9 p.m., TNT

5. NEXT SPURS GAME

The Spurs are back in action tomorrow night on the road against Stephen Curry and the reigning champion Golden State Warriors. Tipoff is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. You can watch in-market on Bally Sports Southwest or out-of-market on NBA League Pass.
