Spurs find defense – finally – in fourth..."We always try to make adjustments in the game,” point guard Tony Parker said. “We made a good one in the fourth.”
..."We got more physical, started rebounding,” center DeJuan Blair said. “We played Spurs basketball.”
...Afterward, Popovich was asked a question to which there is no obvious answer. If his team could play that well defensively in the fourth quarter, why not the previous three?
“If I knew, everyone would score 20 against us,” Popovich said.

San Antonio Spurs 113, Toronto Raptors 100: The Spurs and the walking dead
by Jesse Blanchard
48 Minutes of
To quote my colleague and Editor Timothy Varner, another night another ho-hum victory for the San Antonio Spurs.
There is a reason why, in Detroit, Varner and the contingent of travelling Spurs media were quizzed by perplexed beat reporters on what exactly makes this team so damn good at 44-8. For over three quarters in Toronto it was impossible to distinguish one team from the other before the Spurs pulled away for a relatively easy victory.
But the San Antonio Spurs will not be, as suggested, the first team in NBA history to accidentally back their way into 65-wins. Though they might be the first to stumble their way into it, this is no accident. This is purposeful.
Because the offense-oriented nature of this Spurs revival, there have been comparisons to the Phoenix Suns of recent memory. But those Phoenix teams injected life and a frenetic pace into the game, if only to burn out every season. These Spurs offer no such charisma, speed, or energy. They simply march forward at a steady, unrelenting pace.
What makes these Spurs so good? Simply put, they won’t die. Or, in another theory, they are the walking undead. Zombies.

Tim Griffin
...Four different Spurs had at least six assists in the game, a feat that hasn’t happened for the franchise in more than 18 seasons acccording to STATS LLC.
...STATS reports the last time the Spurs had four players with at least six assists in the same game came in a 113-105 loss at Atlanta on Dec. 5, 1992, in a game coached by Jerry Tarkanian.
...And it’s been nearly a year since it happened in the NBA. Golden State achieved it on Feb. 10, 2010, in a 132-102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
nice comic, spurs are coming back from the dead, lol
Never expected you to type that.
P.S. What was Blair doing on the last couple possessions? Dunking after getting the O board with 5 Raptors draped on him?
