Spurs route Knicks at home, prepare for 76ers

The San Antonio Spurs fought off what little momentum the New York Knicks had coming into the game marking the return of shooter JR Smith to run away with a 120-89 whipping of the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

“It was embarrassing for us to come here on our home court and lose a game like this,” Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony said. “It wasn’t about losing the game, it was just how we lost the game. We didn’t compete today and it showed out there on the court.”

The 76ers are coming off a 125-127 Overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Tickets for the Wells Fargo Center game are still available.

Spurs drop Nuggets, face Suns

The San Antonio Spurs fought off a sluggish start and pulled away in the 4th quarter with a 30-16 thumping.

“I thought our defense was much better in the fourth,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich added. “We held them to about 13 points until the very end when Ty Lawson went to the line. But our aggressiveness on defense picked up, which fueled our offense.”

The Spurs offense was almost non-existant and the three point shooting looked tired as they made only four out of sixteen attempts beyond the arc.

The Spurs next face the Phoenix Suns at home. The Suns are also hot out of the gate and have the same 3-1 record as the Spurs.

The season opens with a heavy heart as the franchise knows they were mere seconds from another championship.

“Suffice it to say, I’ve thought about it every day,” admitted head coach Gregg Popovich, speaking more than three months after the shot. “I’m wondering if it’ll go away. I’m anxious for it to happen, but it hasn’t happened yet.”

But if it is one thing you can count on from a Spurs team, is that they will be ready to take the floor from the first to the last tip of the season.

“Everybody’s ready to go,” Popovich said after practice Tuesday. “Preseason is over with and everybody on every team is anxious to play.”
