The Spurs have enjoyed a sterling run through the postseason thus far -- one that has brought onlookers far and wide to Frost Bank Center.
The Jackals and the Salesian Sisters have garnered much attention in recent weeks, taking center stage behind the likes of Victor Wembanyama, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle and Mitch Johnson. New candidates for the title of San Antonio's biggest fans have emerged during broadcasts of the Spurs' Western Conference Finals series against the Thunder, however.
A pair of women draped in slightly different fabrics have gone viral as of late, taking over camera screens while Johnson barks orders from his post on the bench. They've been a fixture in broadcasts of San Antonio taking on foes at home during the playoffs. That doesn't figure to change anytime soon, either.
With that, here's what you need to know about the identities of the women who watch Spurs' home games from behind Johnson's seat.
