SAN ANTONIO — Sandro Mamukelashvili had 18 points and the San Antonio Spurs routed the Detroit Pistons 123-95 on Sunday to close disappointing seasons for both franchises. San Antonio was without Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 pick in the draft and expected Rookie of the Year. Detroit was without Cade Cunningham, the top pick in 2021. The Pistons (14-68) finished with the worst record in franchise history. The previous worst was 16-66 in 1980. The Spurs (22-60) matched last season's record, which was the third-worst in franchise history but enabled them to draft Wembanyama.
