One of those losses was at home against the Jazz, a team that hasn’t won in San Antonio since 1999. They are off to their worst 10-game start since the Duncan era began. Read More »
Over the weekend, Richard Jefferson served up one of the meanest dunks of the season so far at the expense of Greg Oden. But it was the Oden and the Blazers who got the last laugh, beating the Spurs 96-84 on Friday.
In case you missed it over the weekend, on Halloween night, the Kings played in San Antonio. The game was momentarily stopped because a bat (Seriously. On Halloween.) was flying onto the court. The problem was solved when Manu Ginobilismacked the bat out of mid-air and picked it up and carried it off the court. He got some hand sanitizer and went back to playing.
