Spurs start slow, finish big

The rivalry between the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs has been a long war with the Spurs dating back to the 1976-77 season.  To date, the Spurs have dominated the Mavericks 99 wins to 65.  Last night another battle was waged and the Spurs upped their record to 100 wins with a 112-83 whipping at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs will now hit the road for a three game road swing that includes the Suns and a surefire playoff intense game with the Golden State Warriors (whom the Spurs just overtook in the Power Rankings) before heading home for another in-state game this time against the Rockets on January 27th.

Spurs and Mavericks hook up tonight

The San Antonio Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard was an absolute monster last night with a remarkable line of 11 of 18 from the floor for & 1-2 from the three point line for 24 points, 13  rebounds, four assists and four steals against the Phoenix Suns.

“Kawhi Leonard was spectacular on both ends of the court,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

“Kawhi is one of those guys defensively, he gets after it,” Suns Head Coach Jeff Hornacek said. “When he’s around the ball you’ve got to be strong with it and you’ve got to be able to get rid of it without getting it knocked away.”

For the incoming Mavericks, they have lost their last two games to the Thunder and Grizzlies, both on the road.  The loss to the Grizzlies taken particularly hard.

“I feel like we’re beating ourselves right now,” said Mavs guard Raymond Felton

“This is one of the better defensive teams in the league,” coach Rick Carlisle said of the Grizzlies. “Tomorrow we’re playing the best defensive team in the league [Spurs], by percentage and by numbers. We have to do better, and we will.”

Spurs regain winning ways

After a 104-90 aberration against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night, the San Antonio Spurs rebounded to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies by 10, 92-82 and snapping their own four game winning streak.  The Spurs were led by Kawhi Leonard with 19 points, Tony Parker with 18 points and Manu Ginobili with 15 points to remain unbeaten at home.

“We are building,” Ginobili said after the game. “We really don’t care about the record right now. Of course it’s good to be 10-3, but we didn’t have a super tough schedule, but it’s going to get tougher soon. We should have won one or two more games, but at the same time, we are building, we are trying to get better. … It’s progress. We’re OK.”

The Spurs have two more home games against the Suns tonight and the Mavericks on Wednesday before breaking for Thanksgiving.  They return to the court on Friday in Denver to face the Nuggets.
