Spurs fall to Grizzlies after three overtimes

The Memphis Grizzlies had just ended a 16-game winning streak for the Golden State Warriors and came into San Antonio last night taking the Spurs into three overtimes before prevailing over the defending champs, 116-117.

There is no rest in sight for the defending champion Spurs as they face the Portland Trailblazers  in a rematch of an earlier game this week.  In the Blazers 108-95 win, they also lost center Robin Lopez, a key component of their offense.  Now the Spurs will be plenty tired and we should see a lot of the bench tonight.

“Regardless who’s on the floor, we gotta bring it,” Green said. “We gotta continue to win games. We put ourselves in a little hole here. We know what it takes. We trust one through 15 to get it done, and guys have to step up

Spurs face Nets tonight

The defending Champions Spurs (13-4) are on the road visiting the Brooklyn Nets (7-9) at the Barclays Center tonight.  The Nets are coming off a 98-93 victory over the New York Knicks Tuesday evening.  The Spurs are coming off a 109-103 victory over the winless Philadelphia 76er’s in which both Tim Duncan and Tony Parker did not play.  The go to guy (and according to Coach Pop, he needs to play a bigger role) was Kawhi Leonard who notched his fourth 20 point game this season with 26 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals.

“We’re trying to loosen up a bit and give him more of a green light,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said.

Former Spurs Assistant turned Philly head coach Brett Brown had his hands full trying to keep his former team down and were competitive for most of the game.

“The first half was not played with much energy,” Brown said. “I’ve seen it with our guys. We play the Spurs, we’re sort of star struck for a second. We had no juice, no energy.”

There are plenty of affordable tickets still available for tonight’s game so be sure to get out and support your San Antonio Spurs.

Spurs dump Nets

Every Spurs fan knew that it was only a matter of time before the Spurs began flowing like they did en-route to winning their 5th championship but it has not been such a smooth transition what with injuries and father time still working its magic.  But the Spurs showed they are coming together quite nicely in a 87-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets Saturday night.  Tim Duncan nearly had a double-double and Tony Parker played lights out, scoring 22 points-shooting over 50% while dishing out seven assists.

“Tonight I thought our focus was really good,” Parker said. “It’s not easy to get back to the level that we were at last year in the Finals, but we’ll try hard. We’ve got a long time before the playoffs start.”

The Spurs have two home games coming up. Wednesday against the Pacers and Friday against the Kings.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today!
