Slice up stats and records any way you like, the Spurs are on a roll.
When the Spurs won in Detroit the other night, it was their 1300th win since the start of the new millennium.
Wednesday night’s win in Toronto was their tenth in a row, the first time since the 2015-16 season.
Here’s an interesting piece of trivia.
The last time the Spurs won ten in a row their starting lineup was Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan, and LaMarcus Aldridge. That’s quite a roster of talent.
Having Matt Bonner on with Jacob Tobey and Sean Elliott was a treat. The Red Mamba is knowledgeable, funny, and has a wealth of Spurs (and sandwich) information. Years ago, I launched a campaign retire Bonner’s #15.
It’s hard watching Sandro Mamukelashvili play for another team. I feel like he is the type of player the Spurs are lacking in their lineup. The Spurs have Kelly Olynyk who’s size, stature, and style are similar, but the latter has not seen minutes with the Silver & Black. Even Tobey, Elliott, and Bonner mentioned that the Spurs wanted to bring Mamu back this season but could not peel him away from Toronto.
It was also great to see Jakob Poeltl playing well despite his back issues this season. He had some good moments covering Victor Wembanyama. He also got stuffed by Wemby in the closing moments of the game.
Speaking of Victor Wembanyama, he continues to struggle when defended by heavy-duty players, but he shines defensively. Blocks and disruption are even more apparent when he isn’t knocking down 20+ points a night. That said, he supplies poster dunks and hits timely threes, demonstrating he cannot be shut down completely. As he builds up strength against the physicality being thrown his way, the Spurs will only be more difficult to beat.
In addition, Devin Vassell went 5 of 6 from three and Dylan Harper started 6 of 6 in the early minutes of the game ending the night 7 of 11. The team assisted on 28 of their 40 baskets.
Spurs play the second night of a back-to-back in Brooklyn against the Nets looking for their eleventh win in a row as the 2026 Rodeo Road Trip rides on.
