Tuesday's win against the Nuggets combined with the Lakers losing to the Suns sealed the...

That was the Spurs’ let’s-not-get-too-high mantra after all but clinching a play-in berth with Tuesday’s impressive 116-97 win over Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.
By the time the Spurs were in the air, the play-in berth had been clinched thanks to the Suns’ 121-110 win. The Spurs led 64-44 at halftime after after weathering Jokic scoring 17 first quarter points and getting two quick fouls called on Jakob Poeltl. “If he scored 50, we didn’t care,” Popovich said. “But we knew he is just too damn smart. You start double-teaming him and you wonder, ‘When do we do it? Do we do it on the dribble? Here? There?’ And he just eats you alive, and everybody else starts to participate in it.”“We just did it for the whole 48 instead of going back and forth and being confused all night,” Popovich said. “So, it worked out for us. But they had to help us. I don’t think they had a great shooting night.
