Spurs 105, Hawks 83

Posted January 25, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Matt Bonner,  DeJuan Blair,  Tiago Splitter,  Jeff Teague,  Kirk Hinrich,  Joe Johnson
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs,  Atlanta Hawks

Texas_news_a261
Matt Bonner and DeJuan Blair both scored 17 points, and the San Antonio Spurs handed the surging Atlanta Hawks their first lopsided loss of the season, 105-83 on Wednesday night. Tiago Splitter added 16 points for the Spurs, who relished a convincing win over the Southeast Division leaders after losing two of their previous three and barely squeaking past woeful New Orleans on Monday night. Jeff Teague led Atlanta with 22 points. Kirk Hinrich made his season debut, after missing 18 games recovering from shoulder surgery, and scored seven points in 14 minutes. Joe Johnson had just 10 points for Atlanta. The 22-point blowout was a rare embarrassment for the Hawks (13-6), who had won six of seven.

The Silver Dancers for the San Antonio Spurs

Via Unathletic  |  January 27, 2012
It’s a shame that the Spurs just aren’t the same dominant team they used to be.  I guess that happens when players age.   I mean it’s a shame for the fans in San Antonio.  I for one couldn’t care less.    Tim Duncan has had his rings and the new crop of talent is just a little much for these guys today. Still though,  they’re an above average...

Spurs Road Defense Still Pathetic

Via Rant Sports  |  January 24, 2012
San Antonio Spurs defense is still downright pathetic when playing on the road. Last night, the New Orleans Hornets, who before last night had not broke the 100 point barrier before last night, broke that barrier against the Spurs last night. Tim Duncan was able to save the Spurs with a great running hook shot last night, but it was not very pretty. The Spurs did a lot of things...

How the San Antonio Spurs Beat the New Orleans Hornets Last Night

Via Rant Sports  |  January 24, 2012
San Antonio was able to secure a win on the road against the New Orleans Hornets, though it was not pretty. The Spurs were able to win because of four key contributors last night that played a huge role in how things played out. Road wins are never easy, but they should not be this hard for the Spurs to come by. Now that the Spurs have won two road games, hopefully they will be...
