Kings-Spurs Preview

After opening their six-game homestand with a stunning loss to one of the teams at the bottom of the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs likely won't take anything for granted when they face another.

The league-best Spurs hope to bounce back from a rare home defeat and continue their success against the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.

Fresh off a 7-2 road trip and riding an 18-game home winning streak, San Antonio blew an 11-point lead in Wednesday's 105-101 overtime loss to Phoenix. Tony Parker scored 22 and Tim Duncan added 19 with 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who allowed 33 fourth-quarter points and scored one in overtime while going 0 for 10 from the field.

"We are all very upset, especially after the performance we had on the road," guard Manu Ginobili said. "Coming back home and losing the first one is hard, but it happens. We got relaxed after such a long road trip, but this is what happens in the NBA when you do not play your best."

San Antonio (45-14) had closed its road swing three days earlier with a win over the Suns, who share the West's worst record with the Kings (20-39) and New Orleans.

"When you are playing a team (that's) not really playing with pressure, and you keep them alive, things like this can happen," Ginobili said. "It was a poor performance by us."

It was the Spurs' first home loss since a 92-87 defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 19. They haven't lost two straight at the AT&T Center since March 28-31, 2011.

They're 22-3 at home and have lost just three times in 20 games overall but twice in the last three - both in overtime.

San Antonio is shooting a conference-best 48.5 percent from the field but is at 41.9 over the last three, including 15 of 56 from beyond the arc. The Spurs failed to score more than 100 points in regulation in any of those games after failing to do so just twice in the previous 12.

They've averaged 112.3 points on 52.2 percent shooting while winning four straight in this series - all in Sacramento - including two this season.

The Kings have lost 25 of 28 overall to the Spurs but ended a nine-game skid in San Antonio in their last visit, 88-86 on Jan. 20, 2012.

One night after shooting 51.6 percent in a 141-129 double-overtime loss at Miami, Sacramento hit 54.8 percent and ended a six-game slide with a 125-101 win at Orlando on Wednesday. John Salmons scored 21 and Marcus Thornton added 20 - a day after scoring 36 - as the Kings recorded 31 assists and ended a nine-game road losing streak.

Sacramento is 6-26 in road games, having won two straight only once (Jan. 2-4).

"When we play the type of basketball that we played (Wednesday), we're a tough team to beat, and the night before as well," center DeMarcus Cousins said. "These past two nights are probably the best basketball we played all season."

Salmons has averaged 18.0 points in the last three games, 8.7 more than his season average.

Tyreke Evans, scoring 19.0 per game over the past seven, had 23 points in last season's victory at San Antonio and scored 20 in the last meeting but was outplayed by Parker, who had 30 points and 11 assists as the Spurs won 108-102 on Feb. 19.

Parker, playing through a nagging arm injury, has averaged 27.0 points in his last eight games.

Spurs beat Kings but lose Parker to ankle injury

Posted Mar 02 2013 11:20AM

SAN ANTONIO (AP) The San Antonio Spurs got back on track but quickly turned their attention to point guard Tony Parker, their leading scorer and assist man who sprained his left ankle and is likely to miss several games.

DeJuan Blair paced eight players in double figures with 16 points and the Spurs racked up 41 assists in a 130-102 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night. San Antonio got back to its winning ways, two nights after falling to Phoenix for its first home loss in 18 games.

Despite maintaining the league's best record with a methodical inside-outside game that kept the Kings on their heels, the focus after the game was the injury to Parker.

"He'll be out a while; it's a good one," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "He's been a stalwart for us. He's having an All-Star season. As I've said, he's playing better than any other point guard in the league consistently through the year. We will miss him."

Parker left with 13 points and seven assists. Danny Green had 15 and Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter each had 14 points. Manu Ginobili set a team record with 15 assists off the bench.

Marcus Thornton led all scorers with 25 and Isaiah Thomas added 18 for the Kings.

Parker, who closed out February averaging 26.1 points and 8.3 assists and shooting 54 percent from the field, drove straight down the lane for a scooping layup with 4:40 left in the third period. As he twisted his body in midair to shield off Thomas, who was defending on the play, Parker came down on his left ankle and rolled it outward.

He dropped to the ground grabbing the ankle while play continued at the other end of the court. He was eventually helped off the court, straight to the locker room and he did not return.

The Spurs have been accustomed to adjusting to injuries all season. Leonard missed 18 games with tendinitis in the knee; Stephen Jackson missed 14 games with a broken finger on his right hand and Ginobili has missed 12 games with a string of various injuries.

"Obviously a huge loss, he's been our leader all year long," Spurs All-Star forward Tim Duncan said. "We've played with all different kinds of people throughout this year. We're going to rally. Pop is going to change some lineups.

"We're obviously not going to replace him. But we're going to have to change the way we play for a little while."

Ginobili added that it would be a challenge because of how well Parker is playing.

"We'll have to play better," Ginobili said. "We're going to have to move the ball really well, because what he creates off the dribble, nobody will be able do it."

Whatever doubts the Spurs will have in the coming days were temporarily calmed with the ball movement they used to push the Kings into submission. San Antonio's 41 assists came on 51 baskets.

"Yeah, it just happened," Ginobili said of his 15 assists. "In the first half, it started happening. And in the second half, we were just moving the ball really well. (Sacramento) played zone, they got a little lost and in a game were you're 20 or 30 (points ahead), it's easy to do that. I wasn't really forcing the issue."

Popovich was relieved to see his team bounce back from a 105-101 overtime loss to Phoenix on Wednesday, in game that saw the Spurs fail to score a basket in the extra period against the team with the worst record in the Western Conference at the time.

"They did a great job in that respect," Popovich said. "We were so poor in the last game. We were in the mud execution-wise and discipline-wise. It's good to get back on track so quickly. Now we'll make some more adjustments."

Kings guard Tyreke Evans said the Kings failed to adjust to the movement.

"We let them push off and get a lot of backdoor cuts," Evans said. That kind of hurt us because they got easy baskets."

The Spurs turned the ball over 17 times and the Kings capitalized on the miscues early in the game. Sacramento scrapped its way back from an 18-point deficit with a 12-3 run in second quarter to pull within nine at 42-33, but 13 first-half turnovers plagued the Kings. San Antonio built the lead back up to 17 before Evans nailed a 53-foot shot at the buzzer and the Spurs held a 63-49 lead at the half.

The Spurs took advantage of five consecutive turnovers by the Kings midway through the opening period to pull out to the big early lead. Sacramento scored the last five points to close the gap to 34-21 at the end of the first period.

Notes: The Spurs were without injured Boris Diaw (low back strain), Jackson (sprained right ankle) and Gary Neal (left calf), who missed his third consecutive game . With Diaw out, Tiago Splitter is now the only Spurs player who has appeared in all 60 games for the Spurs this season . Sacramento coach Keith Smart played two games in a Spurs uniform during the 1988-89 season . With Friday's victory the Spurs have won all three meetings with the Kings this year with one remaining and claimed the regular-season series for the ninth consecutive season.

Notebook: Spurs 130, Kings 102

Tim Price, For NBA.com
Posted Sat Mar 02, 2013 12:32 AM - Updated Sat Mar 02, 2013 12:32 AM

THE FACTS: Spurs big men Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter each recorded double-doubles, and Manu Ginobili had a career-high 15 assists, but San Antonio hobbled out of this one when Tony Parker sprained his left ankle in a 130-102 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night at AT&T Center.

According to coach Gregg Popovich, Parker will be out "a while" for the Spurs (46-14). Parker, an MVP candidate with 21 points per game, seven assists and 53-percent shooting from the floor, was driving in for a layup against the Kings (20-40) when he fell past the baseline, noticeably twisting the ankle on the way down.

Splitter ended up with 14 points and 11 rebounds to go along with Duncan's 13 and 10. Each of the Spurs starters scored in double figures as did three off the bench (DeJuan Blair with 16 points, Matt Bonner 13 and Patty Mills 12). San Antonio shot 61 percent from the floor. DeMarcus Cousins went 4-for-7 for eight points in the first half then missed two shots in the third quarter before he and the rest of the Kings starters sat out the fourth quarter (they still scored 33 points).

The news of the night for the Kings came before the game when coach Keith Smart would not comment on the status of Aaron Brooks, who has been in talks of a contract buyout. Brooks was not with the team.

QUOTABLE: "Tony [Parker] has been a stalwart for us. He's playing better than any point guard in the league consistently through the year. We will miss him. Now, we'll make some more adjustments."

-- Coach Gregg Popovich

THE STAT: After recording 31 assists for 46 baskets Wednesday in a 24-point victory over Orlando, the Kings were limited to 20 assists for 39 baskets tonight. San Antonio had 41 assists for 51 baskets.

TURNING POINT: After the Kings battled in the third quarter to stay within striking distance and a 15-point deficit (Phoenix defeated the Spurs in San Antonio on Wednesday after trailing by 11 in the fourth quarter), the Spurs outscored Sacramento 23-10 the rest of the third to close it out.

QUOTABLE II: "We started out with a lot of turnovers and it got out of hand. [The Spurs] played good defense. They got hands on deflections and ran off our turnovers [because] we didn't get back. I think coach [Smart] did the right thing in taking us out and getting new guys in to try to get us going."

-- Kings guard Tyreke Evans

HOT: Blair finished 8-for-12 on the night while coming off the bench for almost 24 minutes. He's 15-for-21 the past two games.

NOT: John Salmons went 1-for-7 tonight.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Marcus Thornton continues to be an off-the-bench scoring machine for the Kings. He had 25 points with five assists tonight and has scored more than 20 points in each of his past three games -- all as a reserve.

ROOKIE WATCH: Aron Baynes, who scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds on Thursday in a D-League game at Austin, got his call-up for tonight's game and played almost six minutes for a basket and an assist for San Antonio.

NOTABLE: Gary Neal (left calf tightness), Stephen Jackson (right ankle sprain) and Boris Diaw (low back strain) did not play for the Spurs. ... Not only did Ginobili have a career-high in assists, his work tonight was the most assists for a Spurs bench player since Avery Johnson dished out 12 in 2001. ... Cory Joseph, who's appeared in 10 games this season for the Spurs and has just been recalled from Austin in the D-League, played 7 ½ first-half minutes and picked up three fouls.

UP NEXT: For the Kings, Sunday vs. Charlotte, Tuesday vs. Denver, Wednesday @ Golden State. For the Spurs, Sunday vs. Detroit, Wednesday vs. Chicago, Friday vs. Portland.
