NOTABLE

» The Spurs have won 21 consecutiv­e home games against the Wizards, the longest active streak for one team over another in the NBA. Washington’s last victory in San Antonio came at the Alamodome on Dec. 11, 1999. » Beal is on pace for his sixth consecutiv­e season with at least 1,700 points, which would be the longest streak in club history. It would also surpass Elvin Hayes for most such seasons in Washington annals.

» With 11 rebounds against Boston on Friday, Murray eclipsed 1,500 for his career. He is the youngest guard in Spurs history to reach that mark.
