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.

Spurs take streak to the Mile High City

Match up a tale of two teams

The San Antonio Spurs have finally found their footing and their swagger with the return of the last seasons Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard who had 12 points and nine rebounds in his second game back, an 89-69 blowout victory over the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets, on the other hand, are now reeling from a blowout of their own. a 122-79 debacle at the hands of the Golden State Warriors.

“We didn’t compete. We looked like we were scared,” Nuggets Coach Brian Shaw said. “I’m trying to be guarded in what I’m saying because I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus, but I just don’t understand how as a team we can’t come out and compete when you’re playing the best team in the league.”

Tony Parker, who sat out against the Nuggets last go around, will be on the floor tonight facing Ty Lawson.

“We have a great opportunity,” guard Tony Parker said. “We have two big games on the road and then we have a lot of games at home. It would be nice to take all those games because we have some catching up to do.”

No Parker, No Ginobili, No Problem

The San Antonio Spurs execution with two top players out was a sight to see and the stand-ins did an excellent job making use of rare minutes on the court. Corey Joseph, in for Parker, scored 18 points, dished five assists and collected four boards while Ginobili’s stand in, Marco Belinelli was 7-12 from the field and 4-6 from the three point line to tally 20 points, six assists and two rebounds.

“I think he is getting his rhythm,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said of Belinelli. “He didn’t come back in great shape. At this point, he is starting to feel pretty good. The injury held him up after he was trying to get into shape. He is just beginning to start the season really.”

The Spurs face the Jazz, the Knicks, the Lakers and Nuggets this week. Be sure to get your tickets and help cheer on the Defending NBA Champions!
