Mavs to host streaking Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs have set another mark in franchise history by moving past the 1977-78 Portland Trailblazers record of 27 straight wins at home after beating the New Orleans Pelicans 110-97 at the AT&T Center last night.  The team was led by newcomer LaMarcus Aldridge who exploded for 36 points, six rebounds and three blocks.

“The ball has been going in,” Aldridge said. “I’m taking the shots and making them. Playing more confident and more like myself and I think that the team has fed off that energy.”

The big man’s play has come on at a time when Superstar Tim Duncan has missed multiple games but there is no argument that Duncan’s presence is sorely missed in the middle.

“LaMarcus is feeling more and more comfortable all the time as the season progresses,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “I thought he was magnificent on both ends. Anthony (Davis) got three points in the fourth quarter, and LaMarcus did a great job on him. So, I thought he was special.”

The Spurs will travel down the IH-10 corridor for a meeting against in-state rivals The Dallas Mavericks tomorrow night at American Airlines Arena.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and lets cheer on your Spurs in Big D!

Spurs blowout Bucks, travel to Memphis

The San Antonio Spurs (15-4) remained undefeated at home after dismantling the Milwaukee Bucks 95-70 last night and now take their show on the road for a game against the  Memphis Grizzlies (11-8) who beat the New Orleans Pelicans 113-104 Monday night.

Tim Duncan led the way last night and in limited minutes finishing with 16 points and 10 rebounds but it was the Spurs defense that shined most brightly.

“You’ve got Kawhi, Timmy and now LaMarcus (Aldridge). That’s quite a bit of length, and you can’t forget Danny (Green),” Milwaukee guard O.J. Mayo said. “They force you to take contested 2s and try to run you off the 3. It’s a solid ballclub.”

The Spurs packed up and are headed to Tennessee to take on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight before returning home to tangle with the Boston Celtics (10-8) on Saturday night.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available for Saturday’s game.  Get yours today and be a part of Spurs History!

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.
