San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Makes Sure the West Stays Beneath
It’s about making sure teams know who the best team around is with the playoffs so close. Tim Duncan knew it was on him, with the Denver Nuggets focusing so strongly on Tony Parker.

San Antonio Spurs – Continue to Make it a Sad Season for Mavs
For the second time in seven days, the San Antonio Spurs made mince meat out of their previous biggest rivals. Tony Parker is as excellent as he’s been all season.

It doesn’t happen every night, but the San Antonio Spurs still have one of those night when the combination of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili can’t be matches by anyone else in the league, not even the hottest team in the NBA, with the hottest player at the moment, James Harden.
