The Spurs are enjoying a resurgence after a rough stretch where the team lost its confidence while blowing late leads and uncharacteristically struggling defensively. LaMarcus Aldridge had 39 points and 10 rebounds, and San Antonio overcame a sluggish start to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-101 on Saturday night for its third straight win. Five days after dropping to 10th and out of playoff position, the Spurs remained seventh in the Western Conference while matching Minnesota and Utah's 40-30 record. Continue to Article

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 39 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to help lift the San Antonio Spurs to a tougher-than-the-score-indicates 117-101 victory over the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday at the AT&T Center. Two baskets by Aldridge, a 3-pointer by Danny Green and a jumper by Rudy Gay in the middle of the fourth quarter turned a six-point Spurs lead into a 107-92 advantage with 5:56 to play and gave San Antonio the breathing room it would need for the final stretch. San Antonio has won three consecutive games for the first time since Dec. 23-28 and has pulled into a tie with Minnesota in fifth place in the Western Conference standings. Continue to Article

?HOUSTON --? LA Clippers coach Doc Rivers called the free throw discrepancy in Thursday's 101-96 loss to the Houston Rockets "a complete joke." "I don't say much about officiating," Rivers said to preface his complaints. "They shot 41 3s, we shot 18. We doubled them in the amount of points in the paint. And it was 24-8 in free throws. That's a joke. That's a complete joke." The Rockets actually had a 23-8 advantage in free throws attempted, but Rivers' point was that the Clippers earned several more trips to the line. "I thought our guys drove and got hit all game," Rivers said. "Lou [Williams] down the stretch got killed on a play and no call. Austin [Rivers] gets hit and no call. DJ [ DeAndre Continue to Article

When Tom Thibodeau engineered the trade for Jimmy Butler last summer, one of the big questions was how that would impact Andrew Wiggins. Butler and Wiggins play the same position and have a similar style of game, it’s just that Butler is basically better at every aspect of it. Wiggins has seen his shot attempts (and points per game) go down this season, and with that efficiency has dropped (he’s had the ball in his hands less, and been asked to spot up more).

Any hope of the Warriors overtaking the Houston Rockets for the No. 1 overall seed in the postseason faded to improbable Tuesday when it was announced that Stephen Curry will be out at least one more week. After tweaking his right ankle last Thursday, Curry missed two games over the weekend -- both losses on the road -- and despite intense physical therapy will miss at least the next four.
