Here’s the San Antonio Express-News blog reminding everyone that the Spurs’ defense is still a force to be reckoned with:
The Spurs’ 91-80 win over the Nuggets on Friday night was the club’s latest in a string of outstanding defensive efforts.
But this one was even more impressive than the others because it came while Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili were home in San Antonio resting.
It seems no matter who is or isn’t in the lineup, there is one constant with the Spurs: They play great defense.
“It’s what we rely on,” Boris Diaw said in the visitor’s locker room at the Pepsi Center after the Spurs limited the Nuggets to 40.3 percent shooting and forced 18 turnovers that led to 15 points.
