Spurs drop Nuggets, face Suns

The San Antonio Spurs fought off a sluggish start and pulled away in the 4th quarter with a 30-16 thumping.

“I thought our defense was much better in the fourth,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich added. “We held them to about 13 points until the very end when Ty Lawson went to the line. But our aggressiveness on defense picked up, which fueled our offense.”

The Spurs offense was almost non-existant and the three point shooting looked tired as they made only four out of sixteen attempts beyond the arc.

The Spurs next face the Phoenix Suns at home. The Suns are also hot out of the gate and have the same 3-1 record as the Spurs.

Spurs sweep Lakers, await winners

The San Antonio Spurs have earned this mini vacation and you best believe that Head Coach Gregg Popovich will take full advantage of the respite because whoever the Spurs face next (either the Warriors or the Nuggets), they will be running.

“It’s going to be track and field,” PG Tony Parker said. “Whoever we play, it’s going to be a lot of running.”

While Coach Pop may think that the Lakers series “wasn’t a fair fight,” the Nuggets or Warriors will provide much more firepower and that’s okay with Pop because the formula will not change.

“We respected them (Lakers) every night,” said the Spurs coach. “We played hard, followed the game plan and we were very active and energetic every night, and sometimes that’s hard to do when your opponent is wounded.”

 

Spurs look forward to a tough weekend schedule

It wasn’t flashy nor pretty but the San Antonio Spurs victory over the Denver Nuggets set the tone for the rest of the weekend which features NBA heavyweights the LA Clippers and the Miami Heat.

The clock continues to turn back for Spurs PF Tim Duncan who finished the game with 23 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and a steal.

“It’s a great win to start this homestand here,” Duncan said. “We’ve got some really tough games this part of the schedule down the stretch here. It’s going to be tough for us, so we need to win everyone we can get.”

The Clippers come to the AT&T Center tonight and are coming off a 105-91 victory over the New Orleans Hornets.  The extra emphasis for the Clippers (if one is needed against the top seeded Spurs) it’s that with a victory over the Spurs, the Clippers can clinch the best season in franchise history.

“At the beginning of the season, we set some goals for the team,” coach Vinny Del Negro told the team’s official website Tuesday. “Obviously, to win the division. It’s all about improving throughout the season. I expect a lot from this team, but more importantly they expect a lot from themselves. We just want to play as consistently as possible, count them up at the end and hopefully be healthy going into the playoffs.”

The Miami Heat are coming off a 97-101 loss to the Chicago Bulls and face the New Orleans Hornets Friday night and the Spurs on Sunday.
