Spurs fall to Thunder

Thunder Bench much improved

The San Antonio Spurs knew going into the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday night, that it was going to be a heat check.  For the Thunder, it was check mate as they cruised to a 94-88 home victory behind Reggie Jackson’s eight straight points in the fourth quarter.  Jackson finished with a career high 23 points on 10-14 shooting while LeBron James finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds.

”We couldn’t guard [Jackson] tonight,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. ”He really helped them. He was basically the difference in the game. He did a great job.”

Tony Parker led the Spurs with 16 points and seven assists in the loss which was the third straight at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The Spurs next face the Orlando Magic on the road tonight then come back home to face the Houston Rockets at home tomorrow night.  Great seats and tickets are available for both games.

 

Spurs demolish Cavaliers

The San Antonio Spurs upped their winning streak to 10 after dismantling the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday night with a 126-96 drubbing.

“Good, old-fashioned behind kicking,” Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. “We got our behinds kicked. We didn’t do anything well. The only positive I think that we got out of it is that we got to see how to play the game of basketball the right way.”

The Spurs will face the Pelicans, Thunder, Magic and IH-10 rival Houston Rockets this week. While the Pelicans and Magic are still trying to find their paths, the Thunder and Rockets are ranked third and fifth in the Western Conference.  Great seats and tickets are still available for all games.

 

 

Spurs take out winless Wizards

In an all around effort, the Spurs beat the Washington Wizards 118-92 Monday night. The Spurs had seven players post double figures; Diaw had 16 points, Splitter 15 and 12 boards, Parker 15 points, Duncan 14 points, Neal 13 points, Ginobili 12 and Bonner 11 points.

”They carved us up pretty good tonight,” Wizards coach Randy Wittman said.

”We knew we were going to play a lot of guys and kind of keep our minutes down especially after the tough one last night. We came in here and we gave them (the bench) a little lead and guys stepped up and started making shots and we extended that lead. And it’s just great to sit there in the fourth quarter, especially after the game we had last night,” PF Tim Duncan said.

The Spurs next face the Orlando Magic (5-8) on Wednesday November 28th.
