The San Antonio Spurs had a rough week, but they managed to back themselves into the play-in tournament the same weekend the cornerstone of the franchise - Tim Duncan - was enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. While the Spurs needed a loss by the Kings to get a chance to play in the playoffs, they had plenty to celebrate with the enshrinement of Tim Duncan.
Week 21: The week began with the Milwaukee Bucks coming to San Antonio. The Eastern Confernce #3 seed was already playoff bound when they arrived to play the Spurs. And the Spurs routed them 146 to 125 (and tied for the 2nd-highest scoring half in Spurs history). The Silver and Black were on fire, shooting 59.6% FG and an almost identical 58.6% from 3 for the game (hitting 12 threes in the first half).
