The Spurs got out of the top three outsiders of the Western Conference, although Sacramento also has a merit here, because the Kings lose to everyone in a row, so they roll back. Wards of Gregg Popovich can catch up with New Orleans, which has recently slowed down due to a large number of injuries. After a confident victory over Houston (134-104), the impression was that the club would continue to act on courage, but the last meeting ended in a fiasco. “San Antonio” could not impose a fight on “Memphis”, although the game was held at home. Now the goal for the team is to prove themselves in the match with Chicago and this is also not an easy task.
The last offender of Minnesota was Atlanta, which literally shot down the opponent in a home meeting with a score 134:122. At the same time, the team instantly returned to its previous course, bringing two more victories to its asset. Thus, the Timberwolves remained in the top 7.
