NBA News - The Good Weekend Continues

San Antonio Spurs 109 Houston Rockets 88

Spurs picked up their seventh consecutive win and kept up their pressure against Conference rivals the Lakers & Hornets for the top spot in the West.

Despite of this win, the same that they’ve let go to the Rockets was there to keep haunting them again. How was this possible? Well T-Mac was kept pretty low by Bruce BOWEN and of course let’s not forget that there is no YAO.

Luis SCOLA was sensational for the Rockets posting a career high 24 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists & 1 block shot. I’m just keen to look forward to see him play in the play-off and hopefully he will be able to lift them from the first round.

As expected, Manu GINOBILI was the best from the bench though tonight’s was below compare to his high five performance. He had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists & 2 block shots.

Much to my happiness, Fabricio OBERTO is improving every game he has started since he lost it to Kurt THOMAS. He posted 8 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists & 1 block shot.

Toronto Raptors 111 New Orleans Hornets 118

I was hopping that both Carlos DELFINO & the Raptors could give the Spurs/Rockets some helping here.

However the Raptors sixth man brought the goods as expected by posting 18 points, 3 rebounds & 4 assists.
