The accolades keep coming the Spurs way after their historic February run. After the Spurs went 11-0 for just their third undefeated month in franchise history while becoming the first team in NBA history to do it while scoring 110 or more points in every game, Mitch Johnson has been named Western Conference Coach of […]
For the first time in his career, Derrick White has been awarded Eastern Conference Defensive Player of the Month. The NBA announced that White was selected as the East’s best defensive player for February, while San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembenyama was selected in the West. White’s case for the selection was rock solid; the […]
Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan has earned honorable mention for NBA Player of the Week for February, 2026. The NBA announced the nominees today. San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama and Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham won Western and Eastern Conference Player of the Month, respectively. Clingan joined Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic, […]
The NBA has named Spurs guard Dylan Harper the Western Conference Rookie of Month for the month of February. The Spurs went undefeated with an 11-0 record for the month, with Harper appearing in 10 of those games (he missed their win against the Thunder) while averaging 12.5 points , 4.9 assists, and 3.9 rebounds […]
The Sixers have a late addition to their injury report — Kelly Oubre Jr. has been ruled out with an illness for their upcoming matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Alongside Joel Embiid and Paul George, this now puts the Sixers down three starters into a contest that isn’t just on NBC, but is a […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a tough loss to the Boston Celtics. Now, they’ll turn their attention to a back-to-back in Philly, starting with the San Antonio Spurs and ending with the Utah Jazz. But first, let’s focus on the Spurs, who have put together a strong season so far. When breaking down San […]
After bottoming out last season with the 3rd worst record in the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers have been a fun but flawed team this year, in large part due to yet another impressive leap from lead guard Tyrese Maxey as well as the promising potential of rookie shooting guard VJ Edgecombe. As for their […]
While the San Antonio Spurs were amassing one of the greatest months in franchise history, the Spurs Organization was over the pond in Paris, France building on the relationship launched last season. Per a Spurs press release: The San Antonio Spurs and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) held two sports leadership events as part of the ongoing […]
Welcome to Week in Review: a Monday feature that looks back at the week that was for the San Antonio Spurs, takes a look at the week ahead, and more. Enjoy! Week 18: The Spurs returned from the All-Star break to sweep their Austin series and keep the train rolling. Against the shorthanded Suns, they did […]
Mmm. Yep. That’ll do it. Consider me humbled, basketball gods. You built me up and struck me down just like the old stories promised you would. Beautiful work. No notes. It’s an awfully nasty beat to get pantsed on national television like that, especially on the heels of a week filled with noise from every […]
The San Antonio Spurs came into Sunday’s matchup with the New York Knicks riding a high. They have been playing well on an 11-game winning streak, chasing the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top seed in the Western Conference. That streak came to a screeching halt, as the Knicks held San Antonio to less than […]
This was a nice moment captured before the Knicks hosted the Spurs at Madison Square Garden. Victor Wembanyama stepped over to Jeremy Sochan during the pregame shoot around. They shared in a warm embrace before Devin Vassell joined in. After the game, Kelly Olynyk and Sochan shared a moment as the teams were parting ways. […]
The bright lights of Madison Square Garden have a way of exposing every flaw. On Sunday afternoon, they illuminated one in particular for the San Antonio Spurs: when the offense stalls, everything else can unravel with it. San Antonio opened the game with energy against the New York Knicks, building a double-digit lead behind sharp ball movement and early […]
In a nationally televised broadcast, the Knicks (39*-22) hosted the Spurs (43-17*) for a 1 0’clock matinee today. San Antonio came into the game as the league’s hottest team, having won 11 consecutive games. Would New York be intimidated? They would not. After a low-scoring, poor-shooting first quarter, the Knicks hit the jets. Powered by […]
Jeremy Sochan got revenge and barely had to stand up, as the San Antonio Spurs got humbled and had their 11-game win streak snapped on national TV. It was their first game back at Madison Square Garden since Victor Wembanyama set it on fire in a close, losing effort in last season’s Christmas Day game. Neither […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs have already faced the Knicks twice this season, although […]
Fresh off a rout of Milwaukee, the Knicks (38*-22) host the Spurs (43-16), team riding an 11-game win streak. The teams split their recent meetings: the Knicks fell 134–132 in Texas on New Year’s Eve after beating the Spurs 124–113 in the NBA Cup Final. Tip-off is 1 pm EST on ABC. This is your […]
Just like Willie Nelson, the Spurs are back on the road again, as their partitioned Rodeo Road trip comes to an end. They have only two opponents left before getting a lengthy home-stand, and the New York Knicks are the first team on the docket. Technically, the Spurs are 1-0 versus the Knickerbockers, but remembering […]
The Knicks (38*-22) host the San Antonio Spurs (43-16) for lunch at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. This will be a significant test for New York against the Western Conference’s second seed. The Knicks have won six of their last ten games, while the Spurs have won 11 straight. The teams met most recently on […]
The Spurs headed into the season with some question marks with the biggest being their lack of backcourt shooting. The trio of De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper undoubtedly had quickness, athleticism, and driving ability to spare, but their jumpers in general and their outside shots in particular were not their strong suit. Three-quarters […]
For those of us who grew up watching the NBA on NBC in the 90’s, Tuesday’s broadcast for the Philadelphia 76ers’ home game against San Antonio will be a shot of nostalgia straight to the heart. NBC announced they are doing a ‘Throwback Tuesday’ telecast to recreate the experience of a 1995-96 broadcast. Just when […]
The Knicks step into a brutal, spotlight-heavy week that runs through a perennial power, a division spoiler, and two Western contenders chasing banners. This week has the plot of a Saw movie, with Adam Silver playing Jigsaw. Let’s review, Ebert! Sunday, March 1 — Spurs vs Knicks, 1:00 p.m. (ABC) Coming off a beatdown of […]
First of all, I have to say this- the Spurs have ELEVEN consecutive wins. The Spurs have hit 11 total straight wins on eight previous occasions. Two of those were during Championship runs. The first time was late in 2002-2003 season when they won their second NBA title. They also kicked off their 2013-2014 campaign […]
