The Spurs were led by Devin Vassell, who seems to have ended his slump with a 20-point outing. The Spurs shot only 29.5 percent from 3-point range and were outrebounded by five boards. It's very clear that they could use a 7-4 sharpshooter, but they will have to wait until next season.

While the Spurs have been struggling for a while, consecutive losses to the Pelicans hurt the Spurs as they strive for the NBA Play-in.

Zion Williamson had 22 points and nine rebounds and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 17-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 114-96 on Sunday night to open a two-game set.
