<p>TIP-INS</p>
<p>Spurs: The Spurs’ previous low for points in the first half was 45, and they matched one by scoring 16 in the opening quarter. … The Spurs hope to have F DeMar DeRozan (personal reasons) back when they visit Cleveland on Friday, though coach Gregg Popovich said it’s “not in stone, yet.” DeRozan missed his fourth consecutive game, while F Keita Bates-Diop (strained right hamstring) sat out his second in a row. … Murray had a suggestion for LaVine after the All-Star went off for 40 points in Tuesday’s romp over Oklahoma City. He wrote “SIT OUT TOMORROW AND GET SOME REST!!!” in response to LaVine’s Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CMgXhJTFjQW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">post</a> following the game. LaVine responded with laughing emojis. </p>
<p>Bulls: The 16 points allowed in the first quarter matched a season low for Chicago. … Coach Billy Donovan had plenty of praise for Young, a 14-year veteran. “Great guy. All the about team,” Donovan said. “Appreciate the investment he’s made in a lot of the younger guys because that takes energy to do that. He’s been really patient with those guys. I think think he’s a great role model in a lot of ways.”</p>
