Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Detroit Pistons 114 to 103 in a hard fought game where both teams played solid tough basketball but the Spurs pushed back and extended their win streak to 9 games! V. Wembanyama (21pts,17rebs,6blks) was the anchor for the Spurs on both ends of the court! He gives the defense an identity and cleans up any missed rotations by the Spurs guards. S. Castle (16pts,11ast) was awesome on defense while guarding the best player on the Pistons. He also gives the Spurs a swagger on the defensive side by playing physical and tough and not backing down from anyone in the NBA! J. Champagnie (17pts) and D. Vassell (28pts) were spot on with their shots and played solid defense against the Pistons. When both are hitting their shots the Spurs are tough to beat! D. Fox (10pts,7rebs,7ast) had an off night offensively but was contributing in other ways and showcasing great leadership for a young Spurs team that needs a solid veteran presence! This win was more than just a plus in the standings. The Spurs showed they can beat a tough physical team and are willing and capable of going deep in the NBA playoffs!

Pistons: J. Duren (25pts,14rebs) is a solid NBA big and a reason the Pistons have one of the best records in the NBA! He played solid and never backed down! C. Cunningham (16pts,10ast) was 5-26 from the field thanks to a large part in S. Castle hounding him all game. He will have better games but the All-NBA guard had trouble getting free from a Spurs defense that was looked on him from the jump! Look for the Pistons to make some noise in the post season and maybe even make a run at the finals!
