"It feels like the players are finding different ways to win. That's a sign of growth. The Spurs romped past Brooklyn 126-110 on Thursday at the Barclays Center, powered by 26 points from Julian Champagnie and a well-rounded scoring effort, marking the Spurs' 11th victory in a row, extending their longest winning streak since 2013-14."
"With the win, the Spurs finished February a pristine 11-0. It was the third undefeated month in Spurs history, and first since the 2013-14 squad went 16-0 in March. Stephon Castle added 18 points and went 10 of 12 from the foul line for the Spurs, who burst out to a 22-point lead against the moribund Nets in the first half and never trailed."
"The Spurs won despite a pedestrian night - by his standards - from All-Star center Victor Wembanyama, who had 12 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and two steals. Wembanyama was 3 for 9 from the floor Thursday, posting more fouls (five) than field goals made, as his personal schedule and travel fatigue appeared to be catching up with him."
The San Antonio Spurs dominated the Brooklyn Nets 126-110 on Thursday, extending their winning streak to 11 consecutive victories, the longest since 2013-14. Julian Champagnie led the Spurs with 26 points, including 6 of 9 three-pointers, while Stephon Castle contributed 18 points. The Spurs finished February with a perfect 11-0 record, marking only the third undefeated month in franchise history. Despite Victor Wembanyama's subdued performance with 12 points, the Spurs' balanced scoring attack and strong defense proved overwhelming. Coach Mitch Johnson noted the team's ability to find different ways to win as a sign of growth. Michael Porter Jr. scored 25 points for the Nets in the losing effort.
