Entering the game, the New Orleans Pelicans had one regular season win which is why Friday's matchup against the Spurs seemed lopsided on paper. Unfortunately for the Spurs, things didn't go as planned. LaMarcus Aldridge was bogged down due to a sprained ankle and head coach Gregg Popovich admitted that the team "didn't play well."
To say the team didn’t play well is an understatement, especially when taking into account Tim Duncan’s stat line. Although Duncan scored six points and dished out two assists, he did not manage to grab a single board in his 19 minutes and 11 seconds. This has never happened in Duncan’s 19-year career.
Although things seem bleak for the star power forward at Smoothie King Center, Duncan and the Spurs will undoubtedly bounce back.
