Do the Spurs take the same approach with him as they did with Murray and Derrick White: make a good but not over-the-top offer that he’ll accept before his value gets even higher, or wait and risk him hitting restricted free agency in 2023? Combine that with a possible level of complacency caused by having blown this same team out in two of their last five games overall, and the Spurs had to actually work for this win, likely more than they expected. 3-1 is definitely an improvement from last season (albeit in a much smaller sample size), and while some might say it was all but a given that they would win these last two games against a blatantly tanking club — or at least as close to a given as you can get with these Spurs — last night they still showed why no game can be taken for granted, especially when it comes to miniseries.

DENVER — Spurs guard Josh Richardson's postgame ritual includes catching up on what happened elsewhere in the NBA that night.

“Tired,” Collins said when asked how he felt after entering the game averaging 17.1 minutes per game. Dejounte is taking a lot of leadership steps. Collins matched his career high with 18 points and had a career-best 13 rebounds in 31 minutes, his most since Oct. 25, 2019. For everything we have been through this season, injuries, COVID, ups and downs, trades, all that, if we can get to the play-in game and make a run, it will be pretty special.” “But I don’t spread that around to all these young guys — just let them focus on hoops and let the season play out.” “And I think they are doing a great job. We were short on big men, and I am the next biggest guy, so it’s kind of natural for me to go to the five.” We all have our ups and downs, but he’s been pretty consistent since he came back. The schedule, though, is about to get tougher for the Spurs, who are 33-45 after winning six of their last seven. Whatever the coach asks me to do, I do it. “I feel like we’re playing some of our best basketball,” Johnson said. “It’s basketball,” Richardson said.

Overall, the Spurs have held their opponents to just 54.1% shooting at the rim over the past seven games, per Cleaning the Glass, by far the league's lowest rate in that span. The Spurs have a difficult road ahead against four West playoff teams in the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Warriors and Dallas Mavericks. Does San Antonio's recent hot stretch provide enough momentum to split the schedule? On defense, San Antonio has arguably played even better, and it starts with Poeltl. The 26-year-old has already faced the most at-rim shots in the league this season and performed admirably. Even 19-year-old Josh Primo, the youngest player in the NBA, has stepped in as a starter over the past eight games. Zach Collins has returned from lengthy injury absences to back up Jakob Poeltl and help San Antonio post the second-highest offensive rebound rate in the NBA over the past seven games. The reads that the 22-year-old has made out of his attacks have been quite impressive.

Following a busy Friday, the San Antonio Spurs control their destiny for the NBA ...

The San Antonio Spurs made the playoffs 22 straight times under coach Gregg Popovich but have been absent from the postseason the last two seasons.

Dejounte Murray missed the Spurs' Sunday showdown with the Blazers due to an illness, and by the looks of it, he won't be returning soon.

There has been no official announcement from the team yet as they seem to look at him day-to-day, so there is still a possibility he returns sooner rather than later. They did beat the Blazers on Sunday behind a big game from Keldon Johnson, but the youngster needs to replicate that performance if they want to bear better opponents. The Spurs are two games ahead of the 11th-seeded Los Angeles Lakers, and so they have complete control of their destiny.

The San Antonio Spurs made the playoffs 22 straight times under coach Gregg Popovich but have been absent from the postseason the last two seasons.

It appears unlikely that the Nuggets will have their best two players besides Nikola Jokic available for the stretch. Despite not having them, Jokic has thrived and has become a favorite to win league MVP for the second straight season with stats that put him in the top 10 in the league. He did it with a sore right knee that nearly kept him sidelined, but the importance of the game won out. San Antonio is 17-21 on the road, where it will play three of its final four games, and 16-24 at home. The Nuggets are trying to hold off Minnesota (45-34), which sits seventh but holds the tiebreaker. Murray has missed two straight games while Poeltl was a late scratch in the 113-92 win over the Trail Blazers.

San Antonio's Briana Saldaña brought her A-game (with a little help from Kelly Clarkson).

She swings a leg onto her now vacant seat, and he raises his hands in the air, applauding, a huge smile on his face as the chorus starts. Her brief flash of self-recognition doesn’t transform the nature of her performance, however—defying the “observer effect” of quantum physics, Saldaña seems to confirm only that she is, indeed, killing it. She turns to her partner and places a hand on his shoulder as he puts his own over his heart, as though he’s pledging allegiance to her, to Clarkson, to the Spurs, to all three. Though “Since U Been Gone” is a breakup anthem, Saldaña’s date seems unperturbed by her enthusiasm for the material; secure in their love, he’s content to cheer her on. Fixing her gaze on the camera, she points a finger directly at the viewer as Clarkson’s voice builds toward the chorus. Rather, it was a sing-along to Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” in which Spurs fan and San Antonio resident Briana Saldaña took full and complete ownership of the Jumbotron for at least 37 seconds.

She says that was her husband's frozen drink and her glossy eyes were a cause of a colored eyeliner she was trying out. Saldaña works in retail and when she noticed a few of her clients shopping the store in Spurs outfits, she was reminded that the Trail Blazers would be in town for one of the last regular season home games. This is one of the great performances in Jumbotron history. Though Saldaña wasn't originally prepared to attend the Spurs game, she was born ready for the camera. Saldaña says she never expected the night to play out the way it did. During breaks, Spurs game operations typically run through a carousel of fans dancing or singing throughout the AT&T Center. What happened Sunday night was anything but typical.
