Spurs Power Rankings - Week 4: Holding Steady

Week 4 was a short week for the San Antonio Spurs with only two games. The week started out with what seemed to be a repeat of the loss to the Orlando Magic when the Silver and Black came out slow versus the Miami Heat and were called “soft” by Gregg Popovich. After returning home, the Spurs answered Pop’s challenge and came out hot versus the misfiring Houston Rockets. While LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan had rough shooting nights, the defense was improving (the Spurs were ranked #1 in defense for the last two weeks for holding the Heat and the Rockets to under 100 points) and Derrick White showed fans glimpses of what he could be at point guard until Dejounte Murray’s return.
