Grizz leave no room for overtime; dump Spurs

The Memphis Grizzlies remember well the triple overtime game just a few games back.  Backed by a home crowd, the Grizzlies were fueled early on in the game with guard Mike Conelly scroing 16 points.  He would eventually finish with 30 points.

“That team has had our number for three or four years,” Conley said. “With or without their starters, they seem to always beat us. It’s a huge win for us at home and a huge statement. Hopefully, we can just continue building off of it.”

The Spurs do expect Point Guard Tony Parker to play tonight.  He did not play against the Grizzlies.

There is no rest for the defending champion Spurs as they overnight from Memphis back to San Antonio for a New Year’s Eve matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Rodeo Road Trip looking really good right now

The defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs have struggled this season with a rash of injuries to a number of players.  Their 19-13 record is representative of that.   They did get a boost when Guard Patty Mills returned to the floor in a 106-110 victory over the Houston Rockets Sunday evening.  Mills had eight points, all in the final quarter of the game.

“His energy, just his activity it was contagious,” San Antonio forward Tim Duncan said. “It was great for us; brought a huge spark to the team.”

The Spurs annual Rodeo Road Trip may just be what the Spurs need as they have normally done well on the nine game excursion from the confines of the AT&T Center.  the Rodeo Road Trip begins February 8th.

Parker hurt against Grizz, Out for Timberwolves

Tony Parker’s exit early in the first quarter of the game against the Memphis Grizzlies did not slow the momentum for the rolling San Antonio Spurs as they defeated the Grizz 112-92 Sunday evening.  Parker took a hard fall and exited with back spasms and did not return.  He finished with 10 points and an assist in nine minutes.

“They’re going to MRI his back tomorrow,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “I’m not a doctor, I don’t know.”

Kawhi Leonard matched his career high in points with 26 which were matched by Manu Ginobili’s own 26, his season high and Tim Duncan added 13 points as the Spurs bounced back from their streak-ending loss to Oklahoma.

“Wins are wins, but all of us want to be the last team standing,” Popovich said. “That’s all that’s really important to about six, or seven, or eight teams.”

The Spurs next face the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road tonight and their next home game will be Friday April 11th against the Phoenix Suns.  Great Seats are still available!
