Spurs won to the Raptors 93-88 with 34 from Ginobili

 

Teams in the West are still asking questions to the main answer: how to beat San Antonio, the holder of 4 championship rings since 1999, when they took down the Knicks 4-1, then on 2003 4-2 over the Nets, 4-3 over the Pistons on 2005 and 4-0 against the Cavs last season.

And they are showing every game that they are still a strong contender for the NBA championship this season, the last proof came yesterday night when they won over the Raptors 93-88, with Manu Ginobili adding 34 points and 15 rebounds and Tim Duncan scoring 22 points and helping with 13 rebounds.

"That's why they are the world champions,'' Raptors assistant coach Mike Evans said.

The Raptors shortened the Spurs advantage to only 4 points in the fourth quarter but Duncan came from a rest in the bench and instantly restored the order to give an even bigger advantage to San Antonio and finally the victory.

The Spurs have won the past 10 games out of 12 against the Raptors, but this type of games at least serves Toronto as a continued lesson on what the’re doing wrong and what is left to study to improve their game.

Things are getting really interesting now that the NBA is approaching to final stages, with the Lakers being the top contender to take away the title from the Spurs hands, this is if Andrew Bynum can recover completely and keep up with the rythm he had before getting injured.
