The Family: Versus
08 December 2008
The battle for Kings of the Lone Star State is heating up this season as Dallas, ranked #7 in the Western conference, faces off Tuesday night against the #8 San Antonio Spurs.
As a regular contender for the West's top team, recent injuries have plagued the San Antonio Spurs' key players this season. But things are turning around as their go-to guys start to get healthy again. Manu Ginobili, coming off of ankle and heel surgery that benched him for their first 12 games, made his return November 24th. Averaging 13.6 points per game, he's led them to victory in 5 of their last 7 games.
After lighting up Minnesota for 55 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds in a double-overtime victory November 5th, Tony Parker was benched for several weeks with an ankle sprain. But since his return November 28th, he's brought fire back to the squad while averaging 22.9 points and 6.4 rebounds.
The Maverick's are finding an early groove, winning 9 of their past 10 games. Dirk Nowitzki continues to lead the squad with his unstoppable inside and outside attack. After serving Phoenix with a 39 point game December 4th (his second for the season) he's ranked forth in the league in scoring.
