Spurs to meet The President before taking on Wiz

The defending NBA Champions San Antonio Spurs are scheduled to visit the White House today and are to be recognized as the 2014 NBA Champions.   The Spurs face the Washington Wizards tomorrow night.

Last night, the Spurs took on the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday night where another Spurs bench player, Austin Daye, had the best game of his career.  Daye, who totaled just over six minutes in the prior nine games, started against the Timberwolves and by the end of the game, finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds in a 108-93 victory.

“Pop believes in all his players and you know he’ll throw you into weird situations at any time, so you just got to be ready,” said Daye,”

Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available for tomorrows game.  Be sure to get yours now and help support your San Antonio Spurs!

Spurs fall to Pistons

The Defending NBA Champions have been through this before.  They know that, as the reigning NBA Champs, every team will come after them every night they play.  The Detroit Pistons were no different and managed to escape the confines of the AT&T Center with a 105-104 victory.  The way they did it is what is so surprising.

With the clock down to seven seconds and the Spurs’ Tim Duncan in-bounding the ball, what could go wrong.  Evidently everything.  An errant in bounds pass from Duncan landed into the hands of Brandon Jennings who then weaved his way through the backpedaling Spurs and drained an 11-ft jumper which sank the Spurs.

“We are getting better,” Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy said. “If you stay in there, sometimes you get a break. We had a very good break at the end. We got lucky at the end. Our resolve to stay in the game right down to the last few seconds was huge.”

Spurs fans also saw the return of Point Guard Tony Parker, who missed the past five games due to a strained left hamstring, although Coach Popovich only allowed him to play 17 minutes.
