Spurs end 3-Game Skid

The Sacramento Kings were the perfect anctidote for an ailing San Antonio Spurs squad that dropped games to the Heat, the Rockets and the Bulls.  The Spurs (who began their annual Rodeo Road Trip) were carried on the backs of PF Tim Duncan (23 points/17 rebounds) and Tony Parker (18 points/10 assists) to push back the Kings 95-93.

”It’s huge to start the road trip like that,” Parker said. ”We needed a win. Obviously we were in a little slump with those three losses. We wanted to get back on the right track.”

The night also marked the return of Center Tiago Splitter from injury and the first night on the floor for newly signed former Wizards Point Guard Shannon Brown.

It was great to be back on the court with the guys,” Splitter said. ”I wasn’t that aggressive on offense, but I just tried to help the guys on defense with the coverage and helps. Most importantly, we won, so I’m happy.”

The Spurs face the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn New York.  Great seats and tickets are still available.

Spurs face Pacers Saturday Night

The San Antonio Spurs will be back home after not being able to play a scheduled game against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Mexico City.  The Game was cancelled due to smoke from an errant generator four floors above the arena floor.

“I thought they were practicing fireworks, Spurs TV analyst Sean Elliot said. “A lot of teams do that before introductions. But then the smoke just kept creeping and it wasn’t white smoke. It was like a brown dark smoke and it started taking over the whole court. It was surprising.”
