Spurs open homestand versus Clippers

Wed 26th, March 2008

(Sports Network) - The San Antonio Spurs try to keep pace in the rugged Southwest Division when the defending world champions return to the AT&T Center tonight to take on a Los Angeles Clippers squad in the midst of its longest losing stretch of the season.

San Antonio maintained a one-game deficit behind division leader New Orleans with Tuesday's 107-97 victory at Orlando, the Spurs' fourth consecutive win. The Hornets stayed on top in the race by posting a 114-106 over Indiana last night.

Manu Ginobili exploded for 28 points and five assists to pace San Antonio, while Michael Finley dropped in a season-best 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting. The Spurs also received 19 points and 15 rebounds out of All-Star Tim Duncan and moved past the Magic for good with a 15-0 run during the third quarter.

San Antonio also moved into a tie with Southwest rival Houston for the third playoff seed in the West. Each club has identical records of 48-23 for the season.

The Spurs kick off a four-game homestand tonight and have been their usual tough selves at the AT&T Center this season. San Antonio is an outstanding 28-6 at home in 2007-08 and has won eight of its last nine outings as the host.

San Antonio has also dominated this series in recent years, having won 15 of its 16 most recent matchups with the Clippers, including the last seven encounters. Los Angeles has also tasted defeat in each of its last 10 visits to the AT&T Center and hasn't won in San Antonio since January 31, 2002.

The Clippers are also hoping to end another lengthy losing streak, an eight- game slide that continued with Tuesday's 103-90 loss at Dallas.

Corey Maggette had 21 points for the Clippers, which failed to take advantage of the Mavericks having to play without the injured Dirk Nowitzki.

Los Angeles has also dropped six in a row on the road and is a woeful 9-25 as the visitor in 2007-08.

Where the players come to play and STAY.
