Spurs remain undefeated @ home after routing Jazz

The San Antonio Spurs, the NBA’s most productive team, let their bench help clean up with 70 points in a 123-98 whipping of former rival Utah Jazz.  Tim Duncan led all starters with 18 points on 8-13 shooting while Kawhi Leonard chipped in 15 and David west 14.

“We’re going through the process of trying to get better every game,” said Spurs forward David West, who had season highs in points (18) and rebounds (13). “Continue to protect our home court and continue to focus on our defense. Regardless of who plays, we’re trying to make sure that we attempt to make it perfect. Even though perfection is not a possibility, we’re still looking to achieve it.”

“We’re eventually going to have a letdown,” veteran reserve Manu Ginobili said. “We’re pros, we shouldn’t. We have to fight hard to take every minute, every possession seriously. Considering that the goal is not to win today, but to get better for when it counts in four months. We still have margin for improvement.”

The Spurs will try to keep their home streak intact when the visiting New York Knicks take the court tomorrow night at the AT&T Center.

Spurs rematch with Rockets this Saturday

After securing their 19th straight home victory with a 112-79 beat down of the Phoenix Suns last night, the Spurs will set their sites back onto the Houston Rockets who took a 88-84 victory from the Spurs last Friday.

LaMarcus Aldridge led the Spurs against the Suns with 21 points and 12 rebounds; his 10th double double of the year.  Manu Ginobili, who came off the bench for five points and three assists and three steals in 17 minutes, put the game and the streak into perspective.

“Yeah for sure (the winning streak is impressive),” Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said. “It’s not that we care about the record, but we know we’ve been very successful (at home) and we haven’t given away any games at home. On the road, we gave away a couple, but the most important thing with that kind of record is that we have feeling that we can do so many things better. That’s a great situation because we know we can improve a lot.”

The Spurs host the Houston Rockets and hope to take one back from them and even out the season series.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your San Antonio Spurs to their 20th Home Victory!

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.
