• The San Antonio Spurs keep winning and all of the NBA and sports world is taking notice including Dallas
Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki:
With a record of 21-5 (13-4 at home), which included a 12-game win streak, much has gone right. Yet, the Mavs have yet to spend a day alone in first place in the Southwest Division, and after going 14-1 over their last 15 games, they’ve barely scratched a couple of games off the San Antonio Spurs’ lead.
“Not even that,” said Dirk Nowitzki, noting the Mavs have moved from three games back to two entering Monday’s games. “They’re playing well. They’ve been fortunate on a couple games. Obviously, we’ve been following them and they snuck out in overtime again (Saturday night against Memphis). It almost seems like they’ve changed their philosophy around a little bit. They’re playing a lot more offense and they’re giving up more points.
“But, for some reason, the Spurs just always win. It doesn’t matter. They used to win 75-74 and now they win 110-109.” (source ESPN.com)
I’m sure this is music to Spurs fans’ ears all across the globe.
