The Spurs are red-hot tonight! Led by a red-hot Marco Belinelli, the Spurs hit their first 14 threes of the game, including going 10-10 in the first half, an NBA-best for any half over the last 20 years.

Open Thread: Spurs Mural Tour- Rudy’s Seafood
Part 2- The Active Spurs As mentioned yesterday, there are so many murals at Rudy Seafood on Flores St., my daughter and I had to break it down into two parts. The first player who she acknowledged by name was Patty Mills. It warmed my heart. She has since added DeMar DeRozan to her repertoire. Lucky for fans, #10 is a current addition painted over a player who is not longer on the team. And for new fans of the Spurs, you may be missing Dejounte Murray. But hopefully not for long. The Spurs defensive stalwart will hopefully return next summer to fill the...

Tom Thibodeau can’t say he didn’t see it coming. “San Antonio’s always played to their strengths,” the Wolves coach said before Friday night’s matchup. “They try to post LaMarcus quite a bit, but when their bench comes in the game changes a little bit.
