Can the Spurs match the Knicks and win two road games in a row?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely do you think returning to San Antonio with the series tied for Game 5 is, and why do you feel that way?  Mark Barrington: There’s a fact in statistics that seems counterintuitive to people who aren’t into mathematics.

Wizards Draft History: The Best and Worst of the Last 20 Years

For most of the past two decades, the Washington Wizards have been bad. During that 20-year span, they’ve managed an above .500 record just six times.

Spurs Notes: Wembanyama, Castle, Knicks Defense, Popovich
