NOTABLE
» The Spurs defeated the Hornets 122-110 on Feb. 14 in Charlotte to take a 44-17 series lead. It was the Spurs’ third straight win over Charlotte.
» Derozan had a season-high 13 assists — one shy of matching his career high — in Saturday night’s 120-113 loss at Milwaukee. It marked the 12th time as a Spur that the four-time All-star has posted 11-plus assists in a game. He did it just twice in his previous nine seasons with Toronto.
» Spurs backup center Drew Eubanks sank a rare 3-pointer Saturday night. He is now 2 for 2 from beyond the arc in his three NBA seasons after going 1 for 1 last season.
