The Spurs were outscored 33-20 in the 4th quarter last night and it did them in. George Hill led the way for the Spurs in this game with 27 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. Tiago Splitter also had a solid game with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 1 steal last night. Chris Quinn and Gary Neal pitched in with 8 points apiece last night. The Spurs are now 57-17 on the year.

The Spurs were outrebounded 40-27 and they didn’t play much D last night as the Grizzlies shot 54.5% from the floor against them, which were the two biggest reasons for the loss. George Hill led the way for the Spurs last night with 30 points, 1 assist and 1 steal in 32 minutes on the court. Tony Parker also had a solid game with 20 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Richard Jefferson (13 points) and Gary Neal (11 points in 21 minutes) also pitched in for the Spurs in this game. The Spurs are now 57-16 on the year.

Veteran small forward Richard Jefferson has really played well for the Spurs this year as he has really bought into the team style of play. He has played in 71 games (all starts) for the Spurs so far this year and he is averaging 30.6 minutes, 11.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Jefferson has shot 47.6% from the floor, 42.9% from three point range and 76% from the free throw line so far this year as he is taking good shots. With Tim Duncan down for a little bit, the Spurs probably wouldn’t mind to see Jefferson taking a couple more shots per game.

The Spurs have signed 23-year old rookie small forward De’Sean Butler. He didn’t get into any games for the Heat as he was still recovering from a torn ACL. Butler played in 146 games in his four years at West Virginia in which he averaged 30.8 minutes, 14.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Butler isn’t likely to get much P.T. the rest of the year for the Spurs as he is likely to be pretty rusty.

The Spurs shot 51.3% from the floor last night but they played sloppy ball in the last minute of the game which allowed the Blazers to come back and win. Manu Ginobili led the way for the Spurs in this game with 21 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. Tony Parker had a decent game too with 15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Richard Jefferson and Tiago Splitter each pitched in with 11 points apiece. The Spurs are now 57-15 on the year.

The Spurs were outscored 25-19 on Wednesday Night and it was the reason they lost. Gary Neal (25 points and 5 rebounds in 24 minutes on the floor) and Manu Ginobili (20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) led the way for the Spurs in this game. Tony Parker (19 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 blocked shot) and Antonio McDyess (13 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot) also played decent games for the Spurs last night. The Spurs are now 57-14 on the year.

The Spurs have lost 34-year old starting power forward Tim Duncan for at least the next two weeks due to a sprained left ankle. Duncan has played in 69 games (all starts) for the Spurs so far this year and he is averaging 28.3 minutes, 13.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 blocked shots per game. The Spurs limited Duncan’s minutes this year to keep him healty and productive and it worked until this week. The Spurs expect that 21-year old DeJuan Blair, 26-year old Tiago Splitter and 36-year old Antonio McDyess will step up with Duncan out of action. Blair has played in 69 games (63 starts) for the Spurs so far this year and he is averaging 21.7 minutes, 8.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 1.2 steals per game. He can handle getting more minutes going forward. Rookie center Tiago Splitter has played in 49 games (1 start) for the Spurs so far this year and he is averaging 11.6 minutes, 4.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Splitter has been brought along slowly by the Spurs in his rookie year but he has a ton of potential so he should do fine with extended P.T. Antonio McDyess has played in 63 games (6 starts) for the Spurs so far this year and he is averaging 18.3 minutes, 5.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He has a lot left in the gas tank and he will likely respond well to getting a few extra minutes per night going forward.
