After being down by as much as 25 points in the second half, Golden State completes the third largest comeback in NBA history to defeat San Antonio 113-111. Looking a bit rusty from the five day break Golden State had after handling Utah in four games, San Antonio hit the ground running from the start of the game. Behind the play... Read More

We are halfway through November, which means the NBA season is still in embryonic development. The same could be said for the new-look Los Angeles Lakers after ditching the old guys (most importantly, coach Byron Scott and future Hall of Fame guard Kobe Bryant).

Fun fact: The Spurs have not missed the playoffs since 1996, that was before drafting one Tim Duncan. It will certainly be weird not seeing the all-time great suit up for the Spurs now that he’s retired. He is arguably the greatest power forward to every play the game of basketball and a top 20 player ever. With Duncan gone, it... Read More

The Cleveland Cavaliers were the first team to advance to the Conference Finals after sweeping the Atlanta Hawks. The other six teams remaining, however, will continue to battle it out to inch one step closer to the NBA Finals.

The San Antonio Spurs put up quite the historical season, posting a record of 67-15, becoming just the 11th team in NBA history to win at least 67 games.
