The San Antonio Spurs accomplished the seemingly improbable Friday night in an impressive win against the Los Angeles Clippers. And while that victory will live large in the minds of Spurs fans everywhere, it’s time to move on in pursuit of the next one. The NBA schedule waits for no team, and after such a rousing triumph, the Silver and Black will have to be careful not to fall prey to an inevitable letdown.
The Pistons, not unlike the Spurs, are a better team than their record indicates. Somewhat predictably they have suffered in the absence of their primary star, Blake Griffin.
