Spurs' Resilience and Playoff Ambitions
When the Spurs’ best player and two key teammates fouled out, they still managed to nearly force overtime with just fractions of a second left in the opponent’s arena. Such a performance might have been seen as a moral victory last year, but this season the Spurs are targeting playoff success, understanding that only actual wins count in the standings.
