So is anybody able to see this game on League Pass? Or in the Spurs app? Or listen on WOAI?

With three games remaining(@ HOU), the Phillies magic number to return to postseason is 1. – 6:25 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Brewers lose. Phillies’ magic number down to 1.
1 victory in Houston or 1 MIL loss vs the D-Backs sends the Phils to the playoffs for the first time since 2011. – 6:24 PM

Fun cap process for Bruno Fernando and Houston. Was on a camp deal. That can’t be reworked without waiving. So, Rockets convert to a Two-Way, then sign the new deal from the Two-Way. This keeps Fernando from being exposed to waivers, where he could have been claimed. Good work. – 6:01 PM

Says @Dave McMenamin: “I’m of the opinion that (the Lakers) already should’ve made a (Russ) move. They could’ve traded one first-round pick last year at the deadline (to HOU) and they would’ve had John Wall on their team and the Clippers wouldn’t be as good as they’re looking this year.” – 4:07 PM

#Texans remain winless, lose to Chargers 34-24. Houston is 0-3-1. Play at Jaguars (2-2) next Sunday. – 4:03 PM
