Hawks vs Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs were looking for a statement win over the Atlanta Hawks and former Spur Dejounte Murray on Saturday.

After an exhausting double overtime loss to the Pistons on Friday, the Spurs will face Dejounte Murray and the Hawks on the second game of a back-to-back.

Of course, Graham does have the ability to get buckets in a hurry, and if he’s feeling it, a second 30-point game in as many appearances wearing Silver and Black would not be out of the question. The injuries to starters have an effect on the bench as well, as some of the reserves have to move to the starting lineup, which has left San Antonio with little firepower in its second unit. Most eyes will be on the backcourts in this one, but if the Hawks get a big edge inside, it’s hard to see San Antonio winning. Beyond anything that happens on the court, it will be interesting to see how his teammates and Pop react to seeing him around for the first time. The Hawks have had their struggles this year, both internal and external, but they are still firmly in the playoff picture in the East, with a 28-28 record and currently sitting in the eighth spot in the conference. Otherwise, the 11-game losing streak will probably be extended to 12.

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (14-42) will face the Atlanta Hawks (28-28) tonight on the road for the fourth game of the annual Rodeo Road Trip.

We just knew we had to pick up the pressure." “I think we were going too slow in that first half, and they were pushing the pace and pushing it at us. San Antonio was just 5 for 22 from the field in the third and was outscored 32-17. The Hawks are eighth in the East.
