Posted in One thing that the Dallas Mavericks have been in their recent playoff history is ineffective on the road, as evidenced in their nine previous road losses – dating back to 2006. But the Mavericks decided to do something about that issue as they shot 54% from the floor, defeating the San Antonio Spurs Saturday 105-97 [...]

Spurs Shoot 55%, Hold Off Pacers 126-121
Typically when you think of the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers locking up, high-scoring games don’t exactly come to mind. Yet a funny thing happened on the way to Conseco Fieldhouse on Friday. Both teams shot fairly well (Indiana shot 51.6% while San Antonio shot a sizzling 54.9%), which tells you that defense was [...]
Parker’s 28 Helps Spurs Edge Rockets 88-85
There’s one thing for certain when the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets get together: good matchups across the board. Yao Ming vs. Tim Duncan. Ron Artest vs. Michael Finley. And on and on. And the vast majority of their games are competitive. Nonetheless, both teams got together Saturday night at the Toyota Center and [...]
Lakers Clinch Playoff Spot, Defeat Spurs 102-95
Three of the Eastern Conference’s elite teams – Boston, Cleveland and Orlando – have already clinched playoff spots while the Western Conference was at zero prior to Thursday night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs at AT&T Center.

Parker Powers Spurs Past Mavericks 93-76
The San Antonio Spurs, when short-handed, typically have difficulty winning games on a regular basis. Tuesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks was no different as Tim Duncan sat this one out with a sore knee; but like all good teams do, someone else steps in to take up the slack. In the Spurs’ case, it was [...]
Spurs Shoot Lights Out, Destroy Warriors 123-88
It actually wasn’t that long ago when the Golden State Warriors were a team of promise, with a roster that included Baron Davis, Monta Ellis, Al Harrington and some decent role players that complemented their key starters. Then the wheels started to fall off – first Davis departs to the Los Angeles Clippers, Ellis then [...]
Mason’s Late 3-Pointer Boosts Spurs Past Clippers 86-83
For at least one game, the Los Angeles Clippers went out on the floor of the Staples Center and actually were competitive; in their game Monday night against the San Antonio Spurs, they were thisclose to pulling off the upset win. Unfortunately for them, the Spurs’ Roger Mason had something to say about that. Mason [...]
