Charlotte comes into town with their longest winning streak in their history. I'd say a good 22 pt win by SA would sound good

Season Finale:Spurs 53-28 vs Hornets 49-32
Hornets 49-32
vs
Spurs 53-28
Since October, the Spurs have played 81 games, a marathon of basketball that has taken seven months and hundreds of thousands of miles to complete.
As the Spurs prepare to tip off game No. 82 against New Orleans tonight in the AT&T Center, their playoff plans are almost as uncertain as they were on opening day.
They could be headed to Portland or Houston to open the first round. They could open at home against the Rockets or Dallas Mavericks.
Locked in a three-way tie with the Trail Blazers and Rockets, the Spurs could finish anywhere from third to fifth. With four quarters left in the regular season, the playoff permutations are still plenty.
“The seedings right now are like the stock market,” Spurs forward Drew Gooden said. “They change every day.”
The Spurs enter the final night of the season with either everything or nothing to play for. In order to achieve the best-case scenario, they will need some help from an unlikely ally to achieve the best-case scenario.
With a victory over the Hornets, and a Dallas victory over Houston, the Spurs will claim their first Southwest Division title since 2005-06 and the accompanying No. 3 seed.
In that case, the Spurs would open the postseason at home against Dallas and would avoid the top-seeded Lakers until the conference finals.
