NBA News: San Antonio Spurs Playoff Hopes, Houston Rockets Win, Russell Westbrook Triple-double The 109-93 loss was the Spurs’ ninth in 11 games, and puts Gregg Popovich’s team on a 37-30 record, which has seen them drop to the 10th seed in the Western Conference.

Then someone summoned him. "I didn't know what the hell was going on," DeRozan recalls. "I thought, 'S---, I know I can't be traded.' It was like I was being called into the principal's office.'"
