Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Sacramento Kings 132 to 104 as the team makes history hitting 25 three pointers creating a new franchise record in the process! V. Wembanyama (18pts,8rebs) and J. Champagnie (17pts) lead the way hitting three pointers to help the Spurs go up by 30 points early. Seven Spurs scored in double figures as the team played confident and made the correct pass in order to set up wide open teammates! S. Castle (3pts,12ast) and D. Fox (15pts,6ast) made quick work of the Kings backcourt. Almost 20 assist between the starting backcourt was contagious for a Spurs team playing its best basketball down the stretch!

Kings: M. Raynuad (32pts,9rebs) and D. Plowden (14pts) were the only bright spots for a Kings team that has regressed from a few years ago. Now they have a team of vets that need a new change of scenery and a chance at joining a contender.

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 119 to 115 in a game where both teams lead by double digits! S. Castle (23pts,7rebs,8ast) played solid for the Spurs in victory. He and D. Fox (18pts,6ast) attacked a shorthanded Clippers team that was playing without K. Leonard. The Spurs feel behind 17 to 3 to start the game, but picked up their defensive intensity and focused on playing solid basketball! V. Wembanyama (21pts,13rebs,4blks) and D. Vassell (20pts) helped lead the charge and get the Spurs the lead. The Spurs ended up leading by 24 points in the third quarter but the Clippers young players cut the lead to single digits in the fourth! It took more effort and focus to close the game out by the Spurs starter but they got the job done! C. Bryant (10pts) played well off the bench for the Spurs. The California native was locked in on both ends of the ball! The Spurs got their 50th win of the season, the last time they did that K. Leonard was on the team. It must have been destiny for them to get it in front of Kawhi in a season that might match up the former finals MVP against his former team in this years playoffs!

Clippers: The Los Angeles Clippers fought back after giving up a big lead. D. Garland (25pts,10ast) and J. Miller (22pts) helped get the game back to single digits in the fourth quarter but the Spurs were too much and closed the game out!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Charlotte Hornets 115 to 102 in a solid victory against a team that has beaten the Spurs before! V. Wembanyama (32pts,12rebs,8ast,4blks) was a problem for the Hornets in that Wemby swatted and contested every shot he was near! Much like a fly swatter in a very busy park during a family get together! D. Fox (17pts,6rebs) and S. Castle (15pts,7rebs,10ast) were very productice against the Hornets backcourt! When Wemby hits his shots, the lane opens for all other slashers on the team! K. Johnson (13pts,5rebs) and L. Kornet (10pts,8rebs) had solid games off the bench! No D. Harper meant the Spurs bench was needing a spark and solid contributors in a game where they had been beaten before.

Hornets: K. Knueppel (20pts) and L. Ball (17pts) with M. Bridges (22pts) are a nice touch that can beat most teams in the NBA! The problem is the bench and consistency from the main guys. The Hornets have been playing decent basketball as of late but were no match for a hot Spurs team that has found their flow!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs lost to the Denver Nuggets 136 to131 in a game where both Wemby and Gordon did not play and Denver came back from down 20! S. Castle (30pts,11rebs,10ast) and D. Fox (27pts,9ast) each help carry the Spurs in this game. The Spurs went up by 20 points and were playing solid basketball but the Nuggets had other things planned. H. Barnes (20pts) and D. Harper (13pts) did their best to help the Spurs keep the lead but it was not enough! This team is good without Wemby, but they are not anything close to a championship contender if Wemby is not in the lineup.

Nuggets: N. Jokic (31pts,21rebs,12ast) and J. Murray (39pts,7ast) played out of their minds to get the Nuggets the win. The team was down by as many as 20 points but had no quit in them! Denver will be a solid championship contender if all pieces are healthy and able to play!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Boston Celtics 125 to 116 as WeMVP hits 8 three pointers and J. Brown gets ejected! V. Wembanyama (39pts,11rebs,2blks) was in MVP form against the Celtics in a very competitive game! The MVP candidate was taking what the defense gave him and hit 8 three pointers that opened up the floor for the rest of his teammates! The back court of D. Fox (25pts,9ast) and S. Castle (18pts,9ast,6rebs) wrecked havoc in the lane as Wemby opened up enough space for the talented guards to attack the paint all night! 18 assist between the two guards showed just how important it is they have the necessary space to operate, in order to split the defense and find open teammates! D. Vassell (14pts) also had a very quiet but efficient night and was steady for the Spurs. This team has won 16 of 17 and is rounding into shape for the postseason!

Celtics: J. Tatum (24pts) and D. White (34pts,7ast) kept the Celtics in the game as J. Brown (8pts) was ejected for the second time in his career. He was very upset about a call and let his emotions get the best of him! It could have been a different game for the Celtics had he walked away and asked his coach to challenge the play! If Tatum gets back into form this team could represent the East in the Finals!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs beat the Houston Rockets 145 to 120 in a game where the Spurs separated from the Rockets after halftime! V. Wembanyama (29pts,8rebs,4blks) was dominant from the opening tip! He scored the Spurs first 8 points and never looked back! D. Fox (20pts,10ast) and S. Castle (23pts,5ast) lead the attack by pushing the ball and finding mismatches all night! D. Harper (19pts,6ast) and K. Johnson (20pts) each maintained the pressure off the bench! This Spurs team is 1st in the NBA in every positive statistical category over the last 16 games by going 15-1 and are making a case for best team in the NBA! Watch out for the Spurs!

Rockets: K. Durant (23pts) and A. Thompson (23pts) tried thier best to keep the Rockets close, but the Spurs were too much from the second quarter on! A. Sengun (16pts) and R. Sheppard (17pts) played decent for the Rockets but were a liability on the defensive end!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs beat the L.A Clippers 116 to 112 in a hard fought 25 point comeback that is one of the biggest comebacks in the past 25 years! V. Wembanyama (27pts,10rebs,4blks) and D. Fox (19pts,9ast) helped keep the Spurs in the game and helped close out the Clippers! The comeback started in the third quarter with J. Champagnie (20pts,10rebs) and C. Bryant (5pts,2stl,1blk) playing solid defense and hitting timely shots. Champagnie had 17pts in the third quarter and his defense and hustle along with Bryant chipped away at the Clippers lead. The energy was contagious and the rest of the team showed why San Antonio is known for, “Never Retreat, Never Surrender!” The Alamo was legendary for that statement many years ago, as well as this Spurs team last night against the Clippers!

Clippers: K. Leonard (30pts) was a thorn in the Spurs side all night. The former Spur and enemy #1 to many Spurs fans was booed everytime he touched the ball. Some pundits and critics want the Spurs fans to forgive him, but they will never forget what he did to their beloved franchise! He was a great player for the Spurs and helped them get over the top and beat the Heat in the finals in 2014. For that I will always have respect for Leonard, but just like other Spurs fans I will never respect what he did to get out of San Antonio and what he did to damage the Spurs reputation. The Spurs ended up moving on and have a franchise player that is so much better as a person and has the potential to be one of the best ever! Character is always more important than reputation! Something Mr. Leonard and his uncle will never understand!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Detroit Pistons at home 121 to 106 in a physical game that could be a finals preview! V. Wembanyama (38pts,16rebs,5blks) was amazing for the Spurs! He set the tone right from the jump and was a force on both ends of the court! Speaking of setting the tone, D. Fox (29pts,5rebs,3ast) did just that right from the opening tip! The All-Star guard was focused and settled in his offensive game early. S. Castle (11pts,12ast,2stl) was also impactful by getting the team going on offense but also playing solid defense on the Pistons best player! J. Champagnie (16pts) made very sound decisions with the ball and has played well for the Spurs this season. The Pistons were physical with the Spurs early and often, but the Spurs stayed focused on playing their brand of basketball as well as playing solid defense and making smart decisions!

Pistons: C. Cunningham (26pts) worked extremely hard for every point and was the focus of the Spurs defense. J. Duren only had 7points in 12 mins because of foul trouble and the fact that he was more worried about playing physical against Wemby. If he settles in on just playing from within the Pistions could make a deep run in the East!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Philadelphia 131 to 91 in an epic victory that seen most of the Spurs supporting cast handle business! Eight players scored in double figures for a Spurs team that wanted to waste no time in getting another dub in the win column. D. Vassell (22pts) and D. Harper (22pts) lead the way in a forty point victory where just about every Spur scored on the night. The team looked hungry and Wemby (10pts,8rebs,6blks) was mostly just a screener and a defensive anchor!

Sixers: T. Maxey (21pts) was the only player to show up and play hard for the Sixers. They were without J. Embid and lost VJ. Edgecomb for the season in the first quarter as well as having P. George out for a drug suspension. They will make the playoffs but if most of the team is out they won’t last long!

Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs lost to the New York Knicks 114 to 89 in a non-competitive game that ended the Spurs 11 game win streak. V. Wembanyama (25pts,13rebs,4blks) was up to task and played well, unfortunately the rest of the Spurs were not up to par. D. Fox (7pts) and S. Castle (13pts) were inconsistent and had bad game. D. Vassell (18pts) played well but needed more help from his teammates. The Spurs lost one game and the sky is not falling, March is usually the time they gear up for a deep run!

Knicks: This Knicks team is a top contender in the East with scorers like M. Bridges (25pts) and J. Brunson (24pts) contributing. They will be a difficult out for any team in the playoffs and could make a run to the finals!
