Regular Season Round 95: San Antonio S. - Houston R. 108-95

Date: January 29, 2011
The San Antonio Spurs are the NBA's first team to 40 wins, and got there faster than the four-time champions ever have before. Maybe three weeks on the road will make things more challenging. Manu Ginobili scored 22 points and the Spurs hit 40 victories by winning their 18th in a row at home, beating the Houston Rockets 108-95 on Saturday night. ``I'm just speechless right now,' said Spurs center DeJuan Blair, who had 14 points and 12 rebounds. ``Because it's just such an honor to be on this team, on this quest for greatness, and we've just got to keep it going.' Richard Jefferson added 18 points in what was San Antonio's last game at the AT&T Center for three weeks. The Spurs (40-7) embark on their annual Rodeo Road Trip starting Tuesday, testing the NBA's best record against nine straight road games. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has traditionally used the trip as a distraction-free chance to work out the kinks. But with the NBA's best record, the Spurs have few obvious faults - and are so far ahead in the Southwest Division (9 games) that they could lose every game on the trip and still be at the top. Luis Scola led the Rockets with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Houston trailed just 76-71 after the third quarter before being buried by a flurry of 3s, and finished the game looking winded a night after nearly overcoming a 25-point deficit in a loss to Dallas. *Courtesy of www.comcast.net
