San Antonio Spurs Aim to Keep Momentum Rolling

The San Antonio Spurs are on a rare winning streak and will look to make it three in a row when they hit the road to face the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night. The Spurs are riding high after consecutive home victories over the New York Knicks (120-105) and Philadelphia 76ers (128-120), marking the first time they’ve won back-to-back games since early January.

Interim coach Mitch Johnson acknowledged the significance of the recent victories.

The Spurs have been battling through an injury-plagued season, and the recent wins have showcased the team’s resilience. San Antonio’s last streak of consecutive wins came between Dec. 31 and Jan. 3, while their longest streak was a four-game run in late November.

Rising Stars Leading the Way

On Friday night, Jeremy Sochan led the Spurs’ offense with a season-high 23 points, while rookie point guard Stephon Castle also shone with 17 points, 14 assists, and three steals. It marked Castle’s career-high in assists and his continued emergence as a playmaker.

Castle emphasized the importance of locking in defensively:

“We came together as players away from the coaches and said, ‘We’ve got to lock in on defense.'”
