Spurs shoot for season sweep of Hornets
Basketball Betting Lines
03/05/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Antonio Spurs will try to sweep the season series
from the New Orleans Hornets when the two Southwest Division rivals go at it
tonight from the AT&T Center.
San Antonio has won the first three matchups between the teams and hasn't
swept the season series from the Hornets since the 2006-07 campaign. The Spurs
have won four straight and 14 of 18 games against the Hornets, who have
dropped four in a row and 10 of their last 11 trips to the Alamo City.
The Spurs, who sit seventh in the West, have won their last two games and are
coming off Monday's win at New Orleans Arena thanks to 23 points and five
rebounds from George Hill. Tim Duncan added 22 points and nine rebounds, while
Tony Parker chipped in 18 points and six assists. Manu Ginobili tallied 13
points and eight assists off the bench for San Antonio, which shot 50.6
percent from the field.
"He's been good for us on both ends of the court," Spurs head coach Gregg
Popovich said of Hill. "In his sophomore year here, he's done a good job at
both ends. We're not surprised when he makes shots or does what he did
tonight."
The Spurs are 21-10 as the host this season.
New Orleans will try to put the brakes on a four-game road losing streak
Friday. It has dropped three in a row overall and suffered a 104-100 setback
at home versus the Memphis Grizzlies despite Marcus Thornton's 24 points off
the bench. Rookie Darren Collison added 17 points and 14 assists, while Peja
Stojakovic provided 18 points and nine boards in defeat.
David West finished with 15 points for the Hornets, who sit five games off the
eighth and final postseason spot in the Western Conference.
"As a team, I don't think we have a good rhythm. We're not playing fluid
basketball. We need to come in and have a good practice and go down to San
Antonio and get competitive with them," West said.
The Hornets are 11-20 as the visitor in 2009-10.
