The San Antonio Spurs came back from down 28 points to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, ending the game by cruising to an easy 114-104 win despite being down big early. The Spurs accomplished this without LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard, who had the night off due to rest (don’t mess with Gregg Popovich and his minutes management).

The win gave Popovich and the Spurs their 18th consecutive 50-win season, a sustained run of greatness that’s sort of hard to wrap one’s head around.

Up in Oakland, meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors were held to 86 points by the Boston Celtics in a loss at home. The Spurs are now just a game and a half back, Kevin Durant is still injured, and it’s time we faced a new reality: The Spurs are the favorites in the West right now.
