What We Learned from the Spurs win over the Jazz

Photo by Melissa Majchrzak/NBAE via San Antonio takes advantage of a great shooting night. Winning seems easy. Feels like something the Spurs should do more of. Wednesday’s game was an entirely pleasant experience from start to finish. San Antonio came out of the gates firing. They held on when they were challenged and they finished strong. They shot the lights out. They played great team defense. I mean, yeah. 10 out of 10. No notes! Ok. Some notes. The turnovers are still killing me. I know, seems crazy to even bring it up right now but we have to. We’ve got to...

An all-around team performance helped the Spurs defeat Jazz

AP Photo/Rick Bowmer Spurs shoot 49% from three to start another win streak. Coming off an impressive win against the Phoenix Suns on Monday night, the Spurs looked to carry the momentum to Salt Lake City against the Jazz. Even though it was not a wire-to-wire win, it certainly felt like it. They grabbed a 29-15 lead after the first quarter and simply did not look back. They won 118-111 thanks to some great performances. Devin Vassell led the team with 31 points, six assists, four rebounds, and a steal. Even with Wemby returning, Devin still showed a dominant...

Spurs draft prospects to watch in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16

Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Potential Spurs draftees to check out in the Sweet 16. Is anyone else’s bracket busted? Outside of a few major first-round upsets like Oakland and Yale taking down the SEC’s best, the tournament has gone chalk. If you’re like me and predicted multiple double-digit seeds to make the Sweet 16, you’d be wrong. In fact, the final sixteen schools left are made up of top-50ish (NC State is 52) teams in Kenpom rankings. There are still plenty of NBA Draft prospects in the tournament for San Antonio Spurs fans to watch, despite early...

Spurs show impressive composure in win against the Jazz

Spurs show impressive composure in win against the Jazz

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports The Spurs’ momentum carried into Utah following an encouraging win vs the Suns. Following a gutsy win against Phoenix without Wemby, the Spurs carried their momentum into Wednesday night’s matchup by recording a wire-to-wire victory vs the Jazz. Still riding high from the previous game, the Spurs played composed basketball right from tip-off. On offense, they continuously swung the ball around to set up good shots. Wemby and Vassell had a number of two-man plays that flummoxed Utah’s defense, and San Antonio did a good job of crashing...
