Every team that makes the leap has a few moments you can look back on and remember clearly. Games or moments that tested their mettle and honed them rather than broke them. I can’t predict the future – I thought we were experiencing this back in 2007. This could go that way and be soured – or it could be one of those moments that is just a start to something incredible. I can’t help but feel it’s the latter.
The Spurs wanted this game. They were throwing punches as they went down, and don’t let anyone tell you different.
