“I understand you can’t live and die off your shot, so if my shot is not falling I have to do other things,” said Mills, who missed 6 of 7 shots through three quarters. “I’m trying to become more of an all-around player.

Spurs ready for Hornets

After losing to the Washington Wizards 102-99, the Spurs (3-2) return home this Saturday to face the Charlotte Hornets (2-3).  The Hornets are coming off a loss 108-94 win over the Dallas Mavericks and are looking to continue their Texas swing with another W and snap a nine game losing streak to the Silver and Black.

The Hornets feasted in the paint against Dallas (58-36) but do not expect to get such bounty against a stingy Spurs defense especially after the answer Coach Pop gave in regards to the paint.

“What would you like to hear? We did drills before we came? Or we sought counsel from a yogi?” coach Gregg Popovich asked. “You just go play the game.”

And play the game they will and you can be there to see it all live.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer your San Antonio Spurs!

Spurs still working into form, crush Knicks

The San Antonio Spurs have won their third straight game over the New York Knicks, 94-84 at Madison Square Garden but the significance of the game is one for the record books.  Spurs stalwart Tim Duncan posted team and NBA records on this night.  Duncan set the record for most wins with  a single team, eclipsing John Stockton’s 953 and looks to extend that record another 60 or more games this season, which should put it out of reach for a considerable time what with NBA players switching teams every two to four years.  Duncan will be breaking his own record every time he steps on the floor.

Thus far this year, Duncan has passed Alex English to move into 16th place All Time scoring, moved into 8th in Career Rebounding passing Nate Thurmond then two days later passed Patrick Ewing to move into 6th place career blocks.  He passed Moses Malone in April to move into 11th place NBA All Time career games and moved into 14th place passing Kevin Garnett in the NBA All Time Scoring list.

The Spurs take on the Wizards tomorrow night before heading back to the Alamo City for a game against the Charlotte Hornets.  Tickets for both games are still available so be sure to get out and support your Spurs either on the road or at home!
