The Spurs led 61-58 at halftime, and appeared to have a decent chance of gaining Popovich win No. 1,356. San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich reacts after a miss against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, March 9,2022 at the AT&T Center.Toronto was 3-7 in his last 10 games and had averaged a rather paltry 103 points in them.
After that, the Spurs draw a home game against a Minnesota team that, as of Wednesday, had the NBA’s longest current winning streak at six games. Should they finish in seventh place, the Raptors would need to fight their way out of the play-in bracket.
