For the second straight season, the Spurs have qualified for the NBA's play-in tournament, and this year, San Antonio travels to New Orleans to take on the Pelicans in a win-or-go-home scenario.
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson celebrates after making the winning basket against the Golden State Warriors during the second half of an NBA basketball game in San Francisco, Sunday, March 20, 2022.– The San Antonio Spurs are heading to the Big Easy knowing they have a tough road ahead of them to qualify for the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2019.
San Antonio first faces New Orleans on Wednesday in a do-or-die play-in game. Win that contest, and the Spurs will fly either to Minnesota or Los Angeles to face the loser of the other Western Conference play-in series in one more do-or-die contest. If the Spurs lose either one of the play-in games, their season is over.
“This is what you sign up for,” Dejounte Murray said. “You see what you’re made of. You go out and don’t worry about mistakes. You don’t worry about anything besides winning a basketball game. Whatever it takes, give it your all. It’s win or go home, and I love these types of games. We don’t want to go home, so we have to approach it like we don’t want to go home and get a win.”Two more road wins would get the Spurs a first-round matchup with the top-seeded Phoenix Suns.
“We are packing for four games,” Keldon Johnson said. “We are packing for two play-ins and two playoff games. Everybody on the team is packing for four games. We’re going to be ready to play.”The Spurs will hold practice Tuesday in San Antonio before leaving for New Orleans later in the day.
