DETROIT, (Reuters) – The San Antonio Spurs are riding high on their grueling “Rodeo Road Trip” after a 100-89 triumph over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday gave the NBA’s top team their third consecutive win.
The Spurs, playing the fourth contest of a grueling nine-game road trip while a rodeo occupies their home arena, got 19 points from Tony Parker while DeJuan Blair added 18 points and 12 rebounds.
The win improved their NBA-best record and made them the first team to begin a season 43-8 or better since 1996-97 NBA champions
