Spurs Surge, Beat Celtics
The San Antonio Spurs scored a 125-116 victory over the Boston Celtics, fueled by Devin Vassell's shooting and a 12-0 closing run. Some analysts now call them title contenders.
The Spurs are now considered to have a high chance to make the postseason in 2025-26. If the season ended today, the Spurs would be the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. The last time the Spurs reached the postseason was in 2019. Devin Vassell has been the Spurs' starting wing for seven seasons, consistently providing spacing and defense. In 8 career games against the Celtics, Vassell has averaged 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists. In a game against the Celtics in 2022, Vassell recorded 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks. The Spurs generate an estimated $696 million in annual economic impact and support 1,863 jobs in Texas. A new arena could generate $318 million in net annual economic impact. The Spurs organization spent nearly $8 million in support of Proposition B, which passed with 52% support in the November 4 election.
