In the NBA regular season, the Spurs sat at home to meet the Pelicans. When Aldridge and DeRozan both left the team, the Spurs were much less powerful than before, but they didn't completely mess up and still wanted to win every game. This time against the Pelicans, the penultimate Pelicans in the West, the two teams played very well in the first three quarters, but the Spurs played a 29-15 offensive in the last quarter. In the end, the Spurs beat the Pelicans 112-97 to avoid a losing streak.
Now this Spurs, I believe that many fans can not know all the players, after deRozan left, Murray, White became the team's expectations, the whole team has no star. But in the face of the Pelicans, the Spurs relied on the overall performance, suppressed the Pelicans, when in the last quarter Ingram fell into trouble, the Spurs through the overall cooperation, continuous points to open up the point difference, and finally won the game. In this game, Ingram is still the same as before, and he is even more isolated.
Before the start of the season, the outside world still had some expectations for the Pelicans, after all, there were Ingram and Zion, but now Zion's injury has become an unknown, and his fat figure has been revealed, and he can only rely on Ingram alone, but unfortunately he cannot lead the team to more victories. In this campaign, Ingram played 38 minutes, 11 of 25 shooting, had 27 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, plus or minus of 0, that is, he did not lose or win on the court, and was the only of the team's 5 starters who was not negative.
Compared with Ingram's isolation, the Spurs are more flowery, playing very smoothly, and really a little envious. The Spurs also showed a traditional way of playing this time, multi-point blossoming, and each ball was basically achieved through passing.
The Spurs delivered 31 assists throughout the game, scoring a total of 45 goals, only 14 of which were scored by individual singles. A total of six players on the team scored in double figures, and all five starters had double-doubles, including White with 24 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals, Pelter 24 points and 12 rebounds (7 offensive rebounds), Johnson 17 points, McDermott 13 points and 4 rebounds, Murray 10 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and Walker on the bench with 11 points.
The Spurs managed to win, the 10th win of the season, which also means that manager Popovich is 16 wins away from the all-time number one Nelson (1335). After the game, White, who played well, said: "Our team didn't talk about it, but I'm very proud to be a part of this journey. ”
According to the spurs' momentum, Popovich still has a very good chance to overtake this season, and it doesn't matter if he can't play in the playoffs, but it is still very good to be able to break the record.
