Spurs take 3-2 Series lead

The San Antonio Spurs took another step in realizing their quest of getting back to the NBA Finals by thrashing the Oklahoma City Thunder 89-117.  The beating was thorough and precise and the Spurs played high level basketball against a very, very good basketball team.  It is exactly what you should get from a #1 seed taking on a #2 seed Western Conference finals.

“We absolutely believe we can (in OKC Game six). It’s a tough place to play, and they’re going to be fighting for their lives,” Forward Tim Duncan said after the game.  “But we feel we can play the right way. We take care of the ball. We do the things we’ve been talking about all series long, there’s no reason why we can’t win it.”

Game six is scheduled for Saturday at 7:30 p.m.  Great seats and cheap tickets are still available.  Get yours now!!

Thunder even up series against Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs had hoped to steal a game from the Oklahoma City Thunder but, Serge Ibaka aside, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook had other ideas for the night.  The duo combined for 71 points and Westbrook set a career playoff five steals.

“I don’t know if it’s the best game we’ve ever played together, we ‘ve played so many games now but I think we have another level we can get to.”

Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich pulled the plug on his starters early on in the rout but the bench pulled within 12 points in the fourth quarter but Pop refused to put the starters back in, in an effort to preserve his aging trio of Duncan, Ginobili and Parker.

“Pop did a great job all season keeping us fresh,” Parker said.  “I understand his decision (to keep the starters on the bench), I trust his judgment and now I just have to be ready for Game 5.”

Great seats for Game five are still available so be sure to get your tickets and help cheer on your San Antonio Spurs!

OKC takes Game 3 from Spurs

Serge Ibaka makes dramatic return

Spurs guard Tony Parker said it all along, “Serge will be back.”  Well Parker was right and with the return of Serge came a 97-106 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

“I just knew he was going to play. I’m sure when they looked at the schedule they figured he had a chance to be back for Game 3. That’s why they didn’t bring him to San Antonio (for the first two games). I think it was planned from the beginning. And we’re going to have to be ready because we’re playing a very good team at home.”

The Spurs can get a bit closer to closing out the series with a victory tonight in Oklahoma City.  Tickets for tonight’s game and Game 5 are available now! Get yours now!
