Spurs end their losing streak

George Hill stepped in and helped San Antonio Spurs to defeat Denver Nuggets 111-92 on Thursday night. Spurs were always in the lead from the starting of the game.
George Hill started in the place of Tony Parker who was injured. Hill added 17 points. The penetration of San Antonio guards always caused problems for the Nuggets.
Carmelo Anthony is not in his touch yet. He only made 6 from his 17 attempts. Chauncey Billups could not get his 3 point game going. Nuggets struggled in moving the ball. Nene has game high 20 points and nine rebounds.
On the other hand Spurs will take several positives from this game. Today team’s transition defence was good. Richard Jefferson who was struggling, played a better game here. Ginobili was showing signs of improvements. Seven guys in the Spurs line-up scored in double digits. Dejuan Blair from bench scored 17 points and grabbed 9 rebounds.
Gregg Popovich will have to think a lot about his team. His trinity are struggling with injuries. These aging stars haven’t played lot of games together. Their numbers are decreasing each year. Let’s hope Popovich will find right solutions after this all-star weekend.
