Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Dallas Mavericks

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports The Spurs return to San Antonio after 2 games in Austin for a match-up with the Dallas Mavericks With just a few weeks left in the regular season, the Dallas Mavericks have plenty to play for still in the tight Western Conference standings. With a 39-29 record, they sit in 7th as of this writing, the same record as the 8th seeded Phoenix Suns. While a top 3 spot is likely out of reach this late into the season, staying out of the play-in bracket is very much still in play. They’re just 3.5 back of the 4th seeded Clippers and actually have...

Victor Wembanyama dominates in Spurs’ overtime win against the Nets

Photo by Ronald Cortes/ We’ve been on the run, driving in the sun, looking out for number one. The Spurs found some mettle and won an overtime game. Behind their prized rookie (*cough* of the year *cough*), the Silver and Black received a 33 point, 15 rebound, 7 assist, and whopping 7 block game from one Victor Wembanyama. Devin Vassell also shared the load in volume shooting with 25 points and 8 assists. Keldon Johnson was hot from downtown and contributed 24 points with 5 - 8 from three-point land. Plenty of highlights abound, and Wembanyama’s box score stuffing...

Brooklyn Nets get Wemby’d, lose to San Antonio Spurs 122-115 in OT

Brooklyn Nets get Wemby’d, lose to San Antonio Spurs 122-115 in OT

Photo by Ronald Cortes/ The Nets responded to Saturday’s brutal loss well on Sunday, but not well enough to notch a win. And so it goes. On Sunday the Brooklyn Nets flew south to take on the San Antonio Spurs in Austin, the largest American city without a Big 4 pro sports team. The game was the final stop in a six-game road-trip for Brooklyn, the second half of a back-to-back that began with a bitter loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night. For those that have remained on the Nets bandwagon nearly into April, lowering their expectations from a playoff berth to a...

Wembanyama's 33 points, 16 rebounds power the Spurs past Nets 122-115 in overtime

San Antonio vs. Brooklyn, Final Score: Spurs rally in 122-115 win

Scott Wachter-USA TODAY Sports No lead is safe against these Spurs. Thank the basketball gods for instant replay review. It allowed officials to overturn what would’ve been a robbery of a signature defensive moment for Victor Wembanyama. The San Antonio Spurs held a 117-116 lead in overtime when Dennis Schroder attacked the rim and was stuffed by the heralded rookie. The audacity of the attempt was more puzzling than the eventually overturned missed call. Again, we were left asking ourselves if the Spurs could finish and secure a win. Recently? The answer had been...

Brooklyn Nets vs. San Antonio Spurs preview: The road trip ends

Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/ The Nets close out their six game road trip. The Spurs await them. The days are technically shorter, but it sure doesn’t feel that way. Well, that is if you’re the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets were competitive for a half against the Indiana Pacers last night, but that’s as good as it got. Indiana outclassed the Nets after the break and cruised to a 21 point victory. The play-in is still within reach, but it feels like it’s impossible to reach. The opponent tonight is building a better tomorrow. The San Antonio Spurs are near the bottom...

What we learned from the Spurs’ loss to Denver

What we learned from the Spurs’ loss to Denver

Scott Wachter-USA TODAY Sports Denver is the standard. That much is clear. So, the Denver Nuggets are pretty good at this whole basketball thing. Seriously, that team could win back-to-back titles, and it wouldn’t come as a surprise—perhaps we should expect it, even with how well Boston has played in the East. When you pair the defending champion against a struggling young team, a disaster like Friday’s first quarter is what you can expect. As they have in many recent outings, the San Antonio Spurs showed grit. They didn’t allow a deficit to dictate energy,...

Spurs start slow, claw their way back, but ultimately fall to the Nuggets in Austin

Scott Wachter-USA TODAY Sports The Spurs made it a game after a terrible first quarter before running out of gas against the defending champions. The Spurs couldn’t gift the Austin crowd a win. After a disastrous first quarter, the Silver and Black made it a game for a while against the defending champions, but eventually the Nuggets stepped on the gas pedal and cruised to a 117-106 victory. It wasn’t surprising to see the matchup start a bit chaotically and sloppy, considering Nuggets coach Michael Malone had said that there was “a preseason feel” to the game...
