The San Antonio Spurs have been riding high for the last two weeks. In the absence of Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle, the team has secured big wins and earned its spot in the NBA Cup Quarterfinals. It seemed like that hot streak was continuing in Minneapolis until a fourth-quarter collapse handed the Spurs a […]

Coming into this weekend, it felt like the Minnesota Timberwolves were in a precarious spot. They had lost their previous three games, two of which in disastrous fashion, were sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference standings, and still hadn’t defeated a team with a winning record with two straight nights against winning teams […]

The San Antonio Spurs folded in Minnesota against the Timberwolves, going 2-2 on their nine-day road trip. The latter was on the second night of a back-to-back, but they still had the legs to down a surplus of jumpers, and San Antonio’s half-court defense was shredded, which was ultimately their undoing. The Spurs weren’t facing […]

In a battle of elite starpower, the teams conducted a scorched net exhibition before Minnesota pulled away at the start of the fourth quarter and finished off the Spurs off 125-112. In a first half chock full of runs by both teams – often one after another – San Antonio benefitted from a 16-2 advantage […]

The Spurs beat the Nuggets in Denver to advance to win their group and advance to the knockout stage of the Emirates NBA Cup. It’s an impressive achievement for a young team missing two starters, especially since they faced quality opponents in all four of their games. Soon, they will face a new challenge, as […]

There are three things for which I am an avid fanatic- San Antonio Spurs, Star Wars, and Foo Fighters. One of my greatest joys is when the Spurs began hosting annual Star Wars nights. If they could somehow loop Dave Grohl in as Darth Vader, my universe would be complete. What’s better than getting Dave […]

Coming in off the high of a somewhat unexpected (and well-deserved) win against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, the Spurs face the Timberwolves in the 2nd game of the toughest stretch of Victor Wembanyama’s current injury timeline, and things have really been coming together for them in spite of the absence. Having gone 7-3 […]

I’m not sure which of these stats from last night was most impressive: (a) Devin Vassell surpasses Bruce Bowen and claims the fourth spot three-pointers made in Spurs franchise history, (b) Julian Champagnie tallies his third double-double in a row, all on this road trip, (c) the Spurs won without De’Aaron Fox scoring 20 points, […]

Almost 3 years removed from winning the title, the Denver Nuggets have continued to stay in the championship mix, due in large part to the basketball wizardry that is Nikola Jokic. After 7-game losses in the Western Conference Semifinals each of the last two seasons, a slight shake-up was in order, moving off the massive […]
