San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich takes on his former assistant and current Philadelphia coach Brett Brown when the two teams take the court against one another tonight. The Spurs enter the contest looking for their fifth straight victory.
Philadelphia is coming off of a 127-125 loss at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday night after topping them 94-79 the night before.
"That was a great NBA game," Brown told ESPN. "The only negative is that we lost. I told our guys how proud I am of them because they continued to fight and find any way possible to win."
San Antonio is coming off of a dominant 120-89 defeat over the New York Knicks on Sunday, though the ever demanding Popovich still believes his team could play better.
"I thought tonight we played a good, solid B+, A- game," Popovich said via ESPN. "There were some good things out there."
Danny Green had 24 points and a career-high 10 rebounds in the victory while Tony Parker scored 17 points.
"We just played our game and we made shots," Parker said per ESPN. "When you make shots it helps, and the ball movement was great."

James Anderson, a former first-round pick of the Spurs in 2010, will play against his old team for the first time since joining the 76ers after being waived by San Antonio.
