After a day that began at 6 a.m. in Charlotte and included a flight diversion to Atlanta, the Spurs closed it out with a 112-103 victory over the Orlando Magic on Sunday night.
The win clinched an All-Star Game coaching nod for Mitch Johnson, marking a notable milestone in his first full season at the helm in San Antonio.
A long day, a finished job
San Antonio navigated the logistical hurdles of a whirlwind travel schedule and still produced a complete performance to secure the seven-point win. The Spurs’ ability to handle the disruption and deliver a result underscored the significance of the night beyond the final score.
For Johnson, the outcome carried added weight: the victory locked in his place as an All-Star Game coach, a recognition tied directly to the Spurs’ on-court results.
