Before the season, the (ahem) realists among us looked at this Spurs team and said, "Hey, at least make the play-in and it's an acceptable sign of progress."
Tonight, the Spurs clinched no worse than a play-in berth with 20 games left.
Obviously aiming higher now.
A 48-year-old male was shot at least twice in a parking lot at the Frost Bank Center after the Spurs game against Detroit on Thursday night, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said.

The (welcome home) triple take: Spurs 121, Pistons 106
1. With 67 points between them, Wembanyama and Fox found the right rhythm
2. Area 51 made Cade Cunningham's night a living nightmare, again
3. Ausar Thompson an early exit again, this time due to injury

The Spurs have two dudes with 20-plus points in the first half.
De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama both have 22.
If not for a 9-point edge at the foul line, the Pistons would be in deep trouble here

Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox combine for the Spurs' first 13 points.
It's like somebody reads social media
Ausar Thompson pulled up lame on a drive barely two minutes into the game. He's limping to locker room.
Seems to be grabbing at his right hamstring area.
Spurs: Fox, Castle, Vassell, Champagnie, Wembanyama
Pistons: Cunningham, Robinson, Thompson, Harris, Duren
Asked about Dylan Harper’s admiration for Cade Cunningham, Mitch Johnson was quick to respond.
"Dylan’s got good taste," the Spurs coach said.
On the similarities between Harper and Cunningham and how they got to rub elbows at All-Star weekend.

The Spurs have to play road games all of February because the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo takes over their home arena.
This has been going on every year for for the past 24 years.
The man famously lives on a ranch outside of San Antonio. One of his cows gave birth while the Spurs were out of town for a month

Devin Vassell wanted a night in his own bed. Victor Wembanyama wanted a home-cooked meal. Keldon Johnson needed to check on a newborn calf.
Each Spur had his own reason to hurry home after the end of a wildly successful rodeo trip. Now the real fun begins:

Julian apparently as a Jeep Trackhawk parked at the airport that he was worried wouldn't start when he got there.
Decent excuse as well.
My man, I assure you I am fine. I am just a reporter whose job it is to report on the Spurs.
I didn't force to you to see my post. I certainly didn't force you to comment on it.
Like, I'm just live-tweeting a game, my guy. It's considered part of my job.

Yes, because games are 48 minutes long.
Mitch talked after the game about how they called timeout here and ripped the team because it was looking a little too much like the New York game.
The (rodeo trip is finally over) triple take: Spurs 131, 76ers 91
1. Wemby attempted five FGs and was a plus-41 player. How does that happen?
2. With Barnes' iron man streak over, Carter Bryant benefits
3. In a battle of top rookies, Harper edges Edgecombe

Spurs rookie Dylan Harper, when asked to name his main takeaway from his first rodeo road trip:
"We need that new arena."

An update to this story ... Victor Wembanyama told us tonight his missing family friend has been found alive and well.
"I'm just very, very relieved," he said.
