Ever since the Spurs selected legendary power forward Tim Duncan with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1997 NBA Draft, the franchise has simply been a model of consistency for the last 20 seasons under head coach Gregg Popovich.

During the past 20 seasons, the Spurs have made 20 consecutive playoff appearances, have won five championships, and have 18 straight seasons of at least 50 or more victories. In order for the Spurs to get to 50 victories this season to keep their streak alive, they have to win at least 13 of their last 16 games.

Last night's loss dropped this reeling San Antonio squad's record to 37-29 on the season, which includes 13 losses in their last 20 games. However, according to a tweet on Saturday evening from ESPN NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, San Antonio may see the return of star small forward Kawhi Leonard for this upcoming Thursday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.

With just 16 games remaining in the 2017-18 regular season, the Spurs are the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference playoff race with the L.A. Clippers at No. 8 with the Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, and Los Angeles Lakers still in the hunt for a playoff berth.
