Spurs face Timberwolves tonight

After bouncing back from a loss to the Houston Rockets with a thumping of the Denver Nuggets, the San Antonio Spurs get back to business tonight when they face the Minnesota Timberwolves at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs, still undefeated at home, face a Timberwolves squad that has won only 12 games thus far.  Defensively the Spurs have been led by The Klaw, Kawhi Leonard who is holding his opponents to 37.8% shooting against him.  Tonight Leonard will be tasked to guard the T’Wolves leading scorer, Andrew Wiggins, who is averaging 20 ppg, but against Leonard only 10.8 on 29.2% shooting.

“It’s the same thing every night for me, just depends on the match-up,” Leonard explained. “Just having the mindset of playing defense every night helps me.”

Spurs handle Clipppers, host Pacers

The San Antonio Spurs used a 30-19 4th quarter run to (pardon the pun) Spur them to a 115-107 win over the competitive Los Angeles Clippers.  Now the good guys in black prepare to host the Indiana Pacers (16-10) who are coming off a 96-84 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night.

The Spurs won both contests against the Pacers last year by a combined eight points but this Pacers team is not the same caliber as last seasons.

“It’s a tough one, (loss to Grizzlies) but we have another one on Monday and we have to get ready for San Antonio,” guard Monta Ellis told the team’s official website. “We have to put this one behind us and keep moving.”

The game kicks off at 7:30 pm tonight and you still have the opportunity to attend!  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so get yours today and help cheer on your San Antonio Spurs!

Spurs hosts Jazz tonight

The San Antonio Spurs will attempt to keep their undefeated streak going tonight as they welcome the Utah Jazz into AT&T Stadium for a Western Conference match up.  The Spurs are coming off a 103-78 throttling of the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night with stifling defense.  The Spurs forced 17 Hawks turnovers and have forced 54 in their last three games.

Of course all of this is nothing to the Head Coach who will never be satisfied with his team’s play, good or bad.

“We had a good night, they had a poor night,” Popovich said after the game. “That’s all it is.”

The Jazz are coming off two straight losses to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 94-90 on Friday and 104-98 yesterday in OKC.

“It hurts,” Utah coach Quin Snyder said. “We were really, really good and we got really tired. It really came down, if we could have gotten a couple of defensive rebounds at the end of the game. We were clearly fatigued in overtime. We’d been able to attack most of the game and just ran out of steam.”

The Jazz will get themselves in trouble if they run out of steam against this Spurs team…ask the Hawks.
