It’s a Sunday brunch treat that’s better than mimosas and eggs benedict. Better that grits and gravy. And with all due respect to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles in Los Angeles, even more delicious than his signature chicken and waffles with a side of turnip greens thrown in for good measure. Here for your Sunday edification are [...]

Credit Kevin Durant with knowing a sense of the obvious. After Durant’s tiebreaking 3-pointer that catapulted Oklahoma City to a 103-100 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers Saturday night, he sheepishly admitted that hitting the basket changed his perception of the shot — as well as that of many others. ”It left my hand, (and) [...]

It was kind of memory that will go down as one of the most enduring glimpses of the season and maybe even of the Spurs’ recent history. The Los Angeles Clippers had made the Spurs look slow and tired in the first half, racing to a 24-point lead as Blake Griffin and his “Lob City” teammates played up [...]

By Jeff McDonald LOS ANGELES — For 38 days, the Spurs had run roughshod across the NBA, picking up wins as if they were on special at Costco, making everything look so easy and so predictable. So imagine the Spurs’ surprise — and perhaps that of the Los Angeles Clippers, too — when they looked [...]

Column by Buck Harvey LOS ANGELES — They didn’t like Kawhi Leonard Saturday. They were in awe of him. A few members of the Spurs’ brass stood in a Staples Center hallway trying to find the proper superlative. And, fitting of Leonard, the best compliment was a non-verbal one. A Spurs official put his hand [...]

By Mike Monroe LOS ANGELES – No team in NBA playoff history ever had recovered from a deficit as large as the Spurs faced at the end of the first quarter of Saturday’s Game 3 at Staples Center: Clippers 33, Spurs 11. As if this weren’t discouraging enough, L.A.’s lead grew to 24 points in [...]

New York Times LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin soared for a time Saturday, lifting the Los Angeles Clippers just high enough to induce altitude sickness, and making the inevitable crash that much more spectacular. One moment, the Clippers had a 24-point lead. In an instant, it was gone, their flash and bravado overwhelmed by the [...]

By Mike Monroe LOS ANGELES – If the Spurs are going to have a chance to finish off their Western Conference semifinals series against the Clippers in another 4-0 sweep tonight they have to hope the Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes finish their NHL Stanley Cup Western Conference championship game at Staples Center in [...]

Someone asked Gregg Popovich why he opted to foul Reggie Evans in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game, and Popovich said simply: “Because he’s not a good free throw shooter.” Everyone laughed. “I’m not trying to be a wise guy,” Popovich continued. “I just don’t know what else to tell you. We weren’t going to [...]

KEY PLAYER TIM DUNCAN - Minutes: 37:52 - FG-FGA: 8-16 - Points: 19 - Rebounds: 13 You have to put Duncan’s stat line in perspective: Through the first 17 minutes and 20 seconds of the game the Spurs captain had no points and just two rebounds. In his final 29 minutes and eight seconds of [...]

Most of the nation hasn’t seen much of Kawhi Leonard this season. He was largely an unknown quantity by many observers during his career at San Diego State. And that anonimity continued after the Spurs swung a draft-night trade to obtain him in a package from Indiana for George Hill. Leonard’s defense caught Gregg Popovich’s attention [...]

Even though Gregg Popovich has no idea where his winning streak has come from, it’s starting to attract attention as one of the longest in NBA history. The Spurs stretched their winning streak to 17 straight games with an impressive 96-86 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers Saturday afternoon. It matches the longest in team [...]

There are slow starts. And then there are the starts that the Spurs had Saturday. San Antonio fell into an early 24-point hole after Nick Young’s 3-pointer gave the Los Angeles Clippers a 40-16 with 9:17 left in the second quarter. Many teams would have given up facing that huge deficit. But not the Spurs. The Spurs [...]
