While the Spurs have ripped off the NBA's best streak this season, their head coach Gregg Popovich seems concerned the winning may go to his team's head, despite multiple veteran presences. "I think he'll be happy if we lose anytime soon," star point guard Tony Parker said of Popovich. "I'm pretty sure because he's going to rest like half of the team."
Most recently the Spurs teed off on the East's best team, the Indiana Pacers, by a score of 103-77. "Great streak right now, this was a good win for us," future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan said. "To continue the streak, all that is good. We'll worry about a couple of things, staying healthy, finishing the season strong and hopefully going into the playoffs with the confidence we're playing with now."
The Warriors have been alternating wins and losses lately, the latest game being a nail-biter win against Dallas, which was won by a Stephen Curry shot. "I had missed a couple in regulation and a couple in overtime that I felt were good, so I just knew to keep shooting it, and thankfully it went in," Curry said.
While San Antonio seems invincible these days, Curry is the type of player who can give an aging Spurs squads fits with his quickness and range. They will also have to battle a rejuvenated Jermaine O'Neal in the low post, whom head coach Mark Jackson had strong praise for after the last game.
"(O'Neal) was fantastic," Jackson said. "He's an incredible basketball player that's had an incredible career, and he's finishing it his way."
