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.

Spurs drop opener to Thunder

Nobody took for granted that the first game for the revamped San Antonio Spurs was going to be a cakewalk because they now sported a Big five instead of a big three.  And a cakewalk it was not.  What it was, though, was a hard scrabble match of X’s and O’s and two teams that sported players who looked as if in mid-season form.  In the end, the Spurs succumbed to a couple of ill timed errors and the will of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the entire Thunder squad that took the 112-106 win.  Kawhi Leonard led the Spurs with a career regular season high of 32 points while Westbrook finished the game with 33 points.

The Spurs will be back home for their own home opener tomorrow night against the Brooklyn Nets. Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your San Antonio Spurs the Friday!
