San Antonio Spurs: 21-8

Luego de las 4 derrotas en 5 partidos, pudimos volver a anotarnos 2 porotos seguidos.  Ante el frágil New Orleans primero se le ganó apenas por 5 puntos y luego ante el inestable Dallas se lo apabulló por 38 puntos de ventaja.  Era la vuelta de Dirk Nowitzki a las canchas y recibió una clínica de basquet de los Spurs.

Reaparecieron los triples de Danny Green, que volvió a anotar 7 triples como lo hiciera ante Charlotte el 8/12.  Totalizó 25 puntos, incluyendo un 7/8 de triples y un 9/10 de cancha.

Los Spurs embocaron 20 triples en 30 intentos, redondearon un 56% de cancha y tuvieron 33 asistencias en 47 canastas.  Manu Ginobili puso 9 asistencias.



SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Dirk Nowitzki wasn't expecting to play much during his season debut Sunday night against the San Antonio Spurs.

Still, after missing the Dallas Mavericks' first 27 regular-season games, he didn't expect to take a seat on the bench after 20 minutes with the game completely out of hand.

"In the middle of the third we were down by 80, so I didn't really have to go back in", Nowitzki said, exaggerating the Mavs' largest deficit just a bit.

Danny Green scored a career-high 25 points and the Spurs spoiled Nowitzki's season debut with a 129-91 rout of the Mavericks.

San Antonio's largest lead was actually 46, but the deficit seemed larger to Dallas.

"We got a (butt-kicking), that's it", Shawn Marion said. "No need to explain it ... it was an old-fashioned (butt-kicking)."

The Spurs set a franchise record with 20 3-pointers, besting the record of 19 they set Dec. 8 in Charlotte. San Antonio also set a season high for largest margin of victory.

Tony Parker had 18 points, Kawhi Leonard added 17, Tim Duncan 15 and Stephen Jackson 14 for the Spurs (21-8).

Darren Collison scored 15 points to lead Dallas (12-16), which lost its third straight. Vince Carter added 13 points and Chris Kaman had 10.

San Antonio also had 33 assists, a season-high 17 steals and forced 20 turnovers.

"We don't create that many turnovers normally", Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "So that's a heck of a night for us as far as steals are concerned. That's not going to happen very often. We were fortunate it was one of those nights when your opponent has a bad night and you have a great night and it ends up like tonight."

It came on the night Nowitzki returned following surgery on his right knee Oct. 19 after battling soreness the previous season.

He entered with 6:28 left in the first quarter to a hearty mix of cheers and boos. The former MVP quickly picked up a rebound for Dallas and finished with eight points - going 3 for 4 from the field - and six rebounds in 20 minutes.

Nowitzki decided to play less than an hour before tipoff after testing the knee during practice last week.

"Before the game I felt decent, so I said I'm going to give it a go", Nowitzki said. "I felt actually good out there. I thought the wind was OK, but my legs were a little heavy there after a couple of trips up and down but I thought I fought through it OK."

Nowitzki's presence did little to stifle San Antonio's outside shooting. The Spurs were 20 from 30 from 3-point range and shot 56 percent from the field overall.

"Luckily it felt good tonight", Green said. "Some nights you have it and some nights you don't. Good thing we had it tonight. Not just myself, but everybody else on the team."

Manu Ginobili and Boris Diaw hit consecutive 3s to push San Antonio's lead to 55-45 with 3:42 left in the first half.

Green's seventh 3-pointer gave the Spurs a 77-57 lead with 7 minutes left in the third quarter.

The Spurs led by as many as 46, while the Mavs' lone lead came at 4-3 on Kaman's jumper with 10:30 left in the first quarter.

Tiago Splitter's dunk gave San Antonio a 100-66 lead at the close of the third. Splitter ran to the sideline after the dunk with a huge a smile, where he was immediately greeted with a low five by an equally happy Duncan.

Dallas was outscored 36-14 in the third quarter. San Antonio closed the quarter on a 31-9 run.

"We need to keep on working", Nowitzki said. "We've got a lot of areas to improve. We might not be as talented as some teams on the top, but if we're not, you have to make it up with how you play and compete and it's just not there."

Every active Spurs player scored and played at least eight minutes.

Hoy, 24 de Diciembre, no va a haber partidos, pero si el 25, como suele ser habitual en la NBA.

Oklahoma City (21-5) lidera el Oeste y la Liga, Miami (18-6) lidera la Conferencia Este.  Los siguen ahí nomás Los Angeles Clippers (21-6 y 13 victorias al hilo), los New York Knicks (20-7), Memphis (18-7) y San Antonio (21-8).


Te baja la persiana





 
Manu Ginóbili fue clave en el último cuarto para que los Spurs volvieran a la victoria ante New Orleans: metió 13 puntos, sumó siete asistencias y aportó su experiencia. Los Knicks de Prigioni cayeron como locales ante Chicago.

Los Spurs apelaron a la experiencia para salir de otro mal momento. Después de una racha negativa, con cuatro derrotas en cinco partidos, se recuperaron ante New Orleans: ganaron 99-94 como locales y así quedaron 20-8 en la temporada. Fue clave el aporte de Manu Ginóbili para inclinar la balanza ante un rival que dio batalla hasta el final. El bahiense hizo 13 puntos (2-7 dobles, 1-3 triples y 6-7 libres) en sus 24 minutos en cancha. Pero se destacó más en la creación y terminó con siete asistencias.

Manu apareció con todo en el último cuarto, regaló tres asistencias en los primeros dos minutos y luego contribuyó con cuatro puntos. La ventaja de 84-70 le dio tranquilidad a San Antonio para definir el partido. Tony Parker fue el goleador con 25 puntos (10-17 en tiros de cancha), Tim Duncan lo ayudó con 15 y Boris Diaw aportó 12 desde el banco. Los Hornets (5-21) pelearon con el novato Anthony Davis, que cerró el partido con 18 y además tomó 11 rebotes.




Los Knicks perdieron 110-106 ante los Bulls, en un partido en el que estuvieron siempre abajo y mostraron demasiadas fallas en su juego. Pablo Prigioni hizo cinco puntos (2-3 dobles, 0-1 triples y 1-1 libres). También, en sus 14 minutos, regaló tres asistencias y robó dos pelotas. Fue parte de la reacción final luego de estar 25 abajo en el tercer cuarto. En el último expulsaron a Carmelo Anthony (29 puntos), luego se marchó Chandler por agarrarse con Noah y lo siguió al técnico Woodson por protestarles a los árbitros en el Madison. Deng (29), Belinelli (22) y Hinrich (16) lideraron a Chicago
