Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs extended their win streak to 11 games in an impressive undefeated February against the struggling Brooklyn Nets! J. Champagnie (26pts) the Brooklyn native was lights out from deep (6-9) in front of his family and friends to help lead the Spurs to victory and keep the win streak alive! D. Vassell (14pts) and S. Castle (18pts) both played solid on both sides of the ball! The point guard attack of D. Fox (14pts) and D. Harper (12pts) were also outstanding and maintained pace throughout the game! V. Wembanyama (12pts) was mostly a defensive anchor for the Spurs as the guards did most of the damage. K. Johnson (13pts) was also a factor off the bench and helped the Spurs keep the lead.

Nets: Brooklyn is in a rebuilding mode and seems like they are more focused on what to do after the season. MPJ (25pts) and N. Claxton (12pts) are the only trade pieces that will yield a return back. Hopefully they find someone to build on or they will become the N.Y. Jets of the NBA! Speaking of N.Y. the Spurs play the Knicks next game in a cup championship rematch!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Toronto Raptors 110 to 107 in a comeback victory north of the border! V. Wembanyama (12pts,8rebs,5blks) had an off night against the Dinos but helped seal the victory with a late block on former Spurs J. Poeltl. D. Fox (20pts) and D. Vassell (21pts) were critical in the victory helping the Spurs keep pace against a hungry Raptors team. S. Castle (13pts,5ast) and J. Champagnie (10pts,6rebs,5ast) also helped lead the comeback that had the Spurs down by 15 points in the third quarter. D. Haper (15pts,7ast) was also a huge reason the Spurs won this game. He made a bad turnover down the stretch and even missed two free throws but got his own rebound and played solid during most of the game! The win gives the Spurs 10 in a row and keeps momentum heading into March!

Raptors: The Toronto Raptors came to play against the Spurs and almost pulled off the victory with S. Barnes (15pts) and B. Ingram (20pts) giving the Raptors a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter. J. Poeltl (15pts,7rebs) was solid for the Raptors but Wemby made short work of his attempt at the rim late in the game! This team should make the playoffs and will be a tough out for any higher seed!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Sacramento Kings 139 to 122 extending their win streak to 8 games. V. Wembanyama (28pts,15rebs,6ast,4blks) lead the charge and was impactful right from the jump. D. Fox (18pts,5ast) and S. Castle (18pts,8rebs) controlled the back court and pace against the Kings. H. Barnes (14pts), D. Harper (12pts) and K. Johnson (18pts) each had moments that helped turn the game into a blowout in the fourth quarter! When the Spurs bench unit and the starters are pushing the pace and punishing teams on both ends of the ball, the Spurs are one of the best teams in the NBA!

Kings: The Sacramento Kings look like they were motivated to get a win through 3 quarters of this game, but in the fourth quarter the Spurs turned the tide and all hope was lost! K. Murray (20pts) and M. Raynaud (16pts) are building blocks for the future. D. DeRozan (20pts) and other older vets will need to be traded or released this season so the Kings can actually do a rebuild from the bottom up. Hopefully they do what is necessary for their fans and city!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs beat the Phoenix Suns 121 to 94 as the Spurs win streak gets to 7. V. Wembanyama (17pts,11ast,5rebs) was stellar against the Suns as he held down both sides of the ball. S. Caslte (20pts) and D. Fox (15pts,8ast) paced the offense by pushing the ball at every opportunity! D. Vassell (12pts) and D. Harper (17pts) also joined in on the fun and kept attacking throughout the game. When the Spurs are swarming on defense and pushing the tempo on offense, they are hard to beat! L. Kornet (10pts,9rebs) was steady off the bench and looked solid on both ends of the ball.

Suns: D. Booker only played 9 mins, and D. Brooks was suspended, so the win will only be looked as a wash, as both players were out. The Suns have a deep team and play solid on both ends, so look for this team to a tough out in any playoff series they are involved in!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Golden State Warriors 126 to 113 despite being down through the first three quarters of the game! V. Wembanyama (26pts,9rebs,2blks) and D. Fox (27pts,8ast,3stls) lead the way against the depleted Warriors. The Warriors lead through the first three quarters and seemed to be a quarter away from victory, but San Antonio made a run with K. Johnson (21pts,6rebs) and H. Barnes (10pts) helping get momentum back for the Spurs. D. Haper (14pts,5rebs) was also critical for the Spurs pushing the pace and controlling tempo! The defense for the Spurs really stepped up in the second half and swarmed the Warriors into mistakes and bad shots! Now is the break for the All-Star game and V. Wembanyama will represent San Antonio as a starter and future cornerstone of the franchise!

Warriors: Golden State was without S. Curry and K. Porzingus, but D. Green (17pts) was up to his usual school yard play and helped keep the Warriors close. It will be interesting to see what kind of team the Warriors turn into down the stretch, but getting players back healthy is key!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 136 to 108 in an easy victory against the Lebron-less Lakers! WeM-VP torched the Lakers with 40 points, (25 in the first quarter) to help lead the Spurs to victory. C. Bryant (16pts) and D. Harper (15pts) each had good moments with-in the game to show off just why each was a lottery pick in last years past draft! The Spurs are on a 5 game win streak and are looking good going into the All-Star break! The team is playing more up tempo and swarming defense that has lead to this good run! S. Castle took a hard fall during the game and left with a hip contusion. He should be alright going forward but will more than likely miss a game!

Lakers: No Lebron, No Luka, No Reeves and no hope for a Lakers team that had even their own fans complaining about paying good money to watch their team play without their stars! From the jump this team had no chance and V. Wembanyama took over in the first quarter to seal the deal!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks for the third time this season 138 to 125 in an easy victory as S. Castle shines with a 40 point triple double! The only other player to do that in Spurs history was D. Robinson in 1993! V. Wembanyama (16pts,11rebs,3blks) and D. Fox (15pts,5ast) were steady for the Spurs throughout the game. D. Vassell (17pts) also found his rhythm and was a consistent threat from deep and the midrange. Both rookies looked good in this game as C. Bryant (11pts) and D. Harper (11pts) played solid. The Spurs bench unit was consistent in this victory totaling 39 points and helped the Spurs pull away at the end of the first half!

Dallas: C. Flagg (14pts) played well, but the Spurs had a better game plan for the outstanding rookie! Dallas was done and knew victory was out of reach by the end of the second quarter going into halftime.

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks 135 to 123 as V. Wembanyama (29pts,11rebs,6ast,3blks) battled with C. Flagg (32pts) in a close game throughout! D. Fox(17pts,7rebs) and D. Vassell (12pts,7rebs) helped pace the Spurs to victory and both guards had a bounce back game. S. Castle (18pts,7rebs,6ast) and K. Johnson (12pts,6ast) maintained focus off the bench and continued the solid attack! J. Champagnie (14pts) and H. Barnes (19pts) were 9-19 from deep and played solid defense. D. Harper (9pts) played well with limited minutes after coming back from a night off. No players for the Spurs were traded at the deadline and that seemed to help ignite this team to focus on the task at hand and keep the pressure on the young Mavs!

Mav: C. Flagg is gonna be a problem for the NBA sooner rather than later! He plays point forward and is learning the game at an incredible rate! D. Marshall (32pts) played Robin the Flagg’s Batman, but it wasn’t enough to get the victory as the Spurs were too much down the stretch! The Mavs moved on from A. Davis and will look totally different going into next season.

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 116 to 106 in a snooze fest type of game in which the Thunder sat 7 key rotation players dealing with, ‘Injuries.” V. Wembanyama (22pts,14rebs,2blks) played a good game and was one of a few Spurs to show up and play up to task! K. Johnson (25pts,6rebs) was amazing off the Spurs bench and showcased why he deserves votes as the NBA’s sixth man of the year! D. Fox (15pts,10ast) and S. Castle (14pts) finally played up to task in the fourth quarter. For most of the game both guards were playing down to the competition. D. Vassell (5pts) in 25 mins of action was subpar to be nice. The $25 million a year combo guard could not buy a bucket and played horrible defense against the Thunder. It will take him some time to get his groove back but between him and H. Barnes (9pts) the Spurs need points and, “Ganas” from both players!

Thunder: OKC played well for being short handed but they never were a threat to beat the Spurs at all in this game. A. Wiggins (20pts) and J. Williams (24pts) had solid games, but the Thunder wanted them to get some confidence against the Spurs. The Thunder accentually threw in the towel and are waiting for the playoffs. I guarantee the Thunder won’t be fined for sitting out 7 key players!!!
